Added DiffLines:

An original story from the author of ''Fanfic/SoonIShallBeIndestructible'' and ''Fanfic/BloodSexSugarMagic''.

Thousand years ago, the dragon Girusai took over the Wyrding. After he was defeated, the world was split in two. Garuccia and the Wyrding, the kingdom of humans and the king of the fae. The story starts when someone has started stealing Wyrd Stones that connect the two realms.

The main cast can be divided in three sections. The goblins, Little Ant and her mentor Old Badger who try to find the reason behind the Wyrd Stone theft. Viscount Cassio and his advisor Sal who are preparing for Cassio’s arranged marriage. And finally the vampire Pietro who is trying to use his human children to amass more power.

----
!!Prince of the Wild provides examples of:
* AbusiveParents: Pietro is no Father of the Year and while his kids have it rough, his poor wife has it even worse.
* AlienInvasion: Conquerors from the Stars are implied to have been these. Unfortunately for the would-be-conquerors, it turned into an EasilyThwartedAlienInvasion when they faced the dragon Mordesai.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Nuncio becomes quite smitten with Sal as the story progresses and Pietro even throws some homophobic comments his way.
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: Sal’s fight with Pietro does not end well for him and ends up costing him a leg.]]
* AnimalisticAbomination: Skin-changers look like large animals but are implied to be this. The same with master vampires whose real form is some large animal.
* ArrangedMarriage: Cassio finds himself in one at the start of the story and he is less than enthusiastic about it. [[spoiler: Then it turns out his bride-to-be’s father is a vampire.]]
* BadassBoast: * Cassio gives a short but effective one when he is pushed too far.
---> Cassio:''' I am viscount Cassio de Rossi. The Lionheart. A lord of Garuccia. A descendant of King Eld. And if you spit on my mercy, you will suffer my wrath.
* BadassNormal: Cassio is a normal human [[spoiler: who can also go toe to toe with a skin-changer bear.]]

* BigBad: Pietro Capello, the master vampire whose schemes drive the plot.
* ClassicalMovieVampire: Master vampires in the setting have many of the stock powers they have in folklore; control over weather and animals, shapeshifting and mind control. Pietro himself is a clear expy of Dracula.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Sal acts like a drunken wastrel most of the time but is also a capable adventurer. [[spoiler: And a skin-changer prince.]]
* DaywalkingVampire: Sunlight kills vampires but Pietro gets around this by using his powers to his powers to hide the sun behind clouds at all times.
* DivineDate: In her youth, Old Badger was the paramour of His Savage Highness. They split when she refused his offer for immortality, but they still have feelings for each other.
* EmergencyTransformation: [[spoiler: While near death Elysa turns herself into a vampire.]]
* EvilMentor: In his brief appearance Mordesai takes a shine on Nuncio and tries to instill his power-hungry philosophy in him.

* ManBehindTheMan: Although Pietro is the main threat, he is backed by an even greater force. The dragon Mordesai.

* MustBeInvited: Vampires must be invited into a home. [[spoiler: This ends up saving Little Ant and Old Badger.]]
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The fox prince His Savage Highness, who is actually a decent guy. The bear prince His Terrible Highness… less so.
* NeverMessWithGranny: Old Badger is past seventy but still deadly with a spear and can think on her feet.
* OminousOwl: Pietro can transform into a giant and very sinister owl. This is implied to be his true form and his human appearance just a mask. [[spoiler: Elysa gains the same power when she becomes a vampire.]]
* OurGoblinsAreDifferent: They live in nomadic tribes and seem to be matriarchal communities run by a Grandmother. The ones we meet are named after insects with the children having an added epithet of Little in their names while the elders have Old. Some goblins can gain an honorary name. [[spoiler: Like Little Ant who is renamed Daring Ant in the final chapter.]]
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: They are called skin-changers and have their own societies with princes and queens. They can absorb shapes and memories through eating. There also not limited to just wolves and we meet skin-changer foxes and bears.

** Conquerors from the Stars, implied to be an alien invasion.
* TheStoic: Cassio is a gruff man who rarely shows emotion.
