Synopsis

Byx is the youngest of her dairne pack in a kingdom where her mythical, doglike species has been hunted to near-extinction. When her pack is slaughtered, she believes she may be the last of her kind.

She sets out to find a safe haven and, possibly, another dairne. Along the way she is joined by animal and human allies, and their shared quest helps set in motion events that could bring Nedarra to the brink of war.
