When a feral dog takes a baby’s life, man’s best friend has become mankind’s greatest enemy and the townspeople of Ellon want blood. A decree is made that all dogs are to be killed if seen. But in the forests, a few dogs remain, living in the shadows.
When 12 year old Kace discovers and befriends one of these dogs, he realises that they’re not as evil as he’s been told. After he meets a lone girl who lives in the forest, Adiana, they form a friendship before being forced through the forest to the King’s town.

And can he cure his father’s blind hatred for the dogs?
