In the midst of an interstellar war between Terra and the technologically superior Canis civilization, Protea Avenant and her team of nanogenetically enhanced agents is sent on a covert mission to steal a powerful time device from the Canis luxury planet of Leydaryos. But when her dropship crashes, Protea finds herself separated from her squad and caught up in a local crisis. Injured and disoriented, Protea intervenes to help an elderly man named River Cloudjoy, only to become entangled in the lives of the Cloudjoy family. With the powerful and mysterious Voyance Contingent suddenly decreeing that all interstellar travel will be banned within a month, Protea reluctantly agrees to help River's son, Karm, escape Leydaryos, a planet dependent solely on imports, before it's too late. As Protea navigates the chaotic streets of the advanced city of Aurum, she must evade a mysterious figure named Ruug who is doggedly hunting down nanogens. Protea is forced to make difficult choices, forming unlikely alliances and using her enhanced abilities to defeat dangerous foes, all while racing against the clock to secure passage off the doomed enemy planet. Filled with futuristic technology, interstellar politics, and gritty action, "The Wealth of Canis" follows Protea's desperate race against time to escape the ill-fated planet and confront the mysterious forces behind the Voyance Contingent's sudden and devastating decree.
