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 fairystories 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.
