Description

Enter a darkly dystopian world full of eerie folklore,
in which illness and difference have been prohibited. But from
deep beneath the earth, a rebellion is rising… Perfect for fans
of Never Let Me Go and The Luminaries.

Ora has always been fascinated by chilling fairy stories of the
Vulpine – the mythical, fox-like monsters
who live below ground, emerging at night to snatch ‘imperfect’
babies and children. Because Ora knows that disability and illness
have no place in her world. To succeed is to be genetically ‘perfect’,
just like her best friend Casta and his family.

Then, one day, Casta’s baby sister disappears. And Ora’s
mother reveals a long-buried secret: Ora herself has a genetic
illness that affects her lungs… And she’s about to be found
out.

Desperate for answers and sanctuary, Ora decides to do the unthinkable
and seek out the fabled Vulpine. And below the earth, she
discovers a hidden world that turns everything she has been taught
upside-down…

A unique and powerful story about stepping into your power and
creating a better world, with a brilliant cast of disabled heroes,
from an author whose own experiences of chronic illness inform
Ora’s.
A chilling dystopian world filled with eerie science fiction
and a sweet, slow-burn romance.

Perfect for fans of Never Let Me Go, A Handmaid’s
Tale, The Hunger Games and The Luminaries.
