Synopsis
BNA is a prequel set many years before the main anime story. Long before Anima City was established, the story follows a younger Shirou and Natalia (Barbara Rose) as they travel the world, helping Beastmen. The novel promises to reveal the source of Shirou's hatred for humans.

Prologue
The prologue chapter is from Shirou's point of view. Shirou says there have been two times in his life he's seen the world burn down - the first time, in his home village, and the second time, now, in a beastmen internment camp that he figured he'd been brought to die. Natalia was also there with him. Shirou sees the wolf god - Ginrou in what he assumes to be a dream - but it turns out not to be, Ginrou has come to save them. He sees Ginrou standing atop the rubble. 'The silver wolf was crying.'undefined
