The book is set in an alternate history where dinosaurs never went extinct, leading to the evolution of an advanced reptilian species called the Yilanè. These intelligent beings have developed a sophisticated civilization based on biotechnology. The story follows the conflict between the Yilanè and a group of humans, known as the Tanu, who are struggling to survive in a world dominated by these reptilian creatures. As the two species come into contact, cultural clashes and survival instincts drive the narrative, exploring themes of coexistence, adaptation, and the clash between nature and technology.
