Synopses

The Wild Before

On a stormy, snowy night, a pure silver calf is born by moonlight on an ordinary muddy farm. Known as the Mooncalf, its arrival has been foretold since the dawn of time. A dream passed from animal to animal warns that if the calf dies, a great Terribleness will come, and Little Hare vows to persuade the animals to protect it.

The Last Wild

Kester is extraordinary, though he does not realise it yet. In his bedroom, a flock of excited pigeons is talking to him, and he knows his life will never be quite the same again.

The Dark Wild

Twelve-year-old Kester believes he has discovered the last wild animals in the land and that his adventure is over. Deep underground, below the sparkling city of Premium, a dark wild remains: animals who think the time is right to rise up against their human enemies.

The Wild Beyond

Kester has rescued the last wild animals in the world and saved his capital city from destruction. Now he faces a new challenge: the only blue whale on the planet brings news from across the ocean, a mysterious steel dome rises from the Four Towers, and somewhere a brave mouse holds the key to the future.
