fantastical fable of "knowledgeable creatures", in the vein of Brian Jacques's Redwall series but for adults, by Hugo and Nebula Award finalist Christopher Rowe

"Half fable, half caper, and a pure joy to read."--Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of Book of Night

"There's nothing like it; you have to read it." --Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of The Once and Future Witches

Quintus Shu'al, the world's only navigating fox, is in disgrace after guiding an expedition to its doom, leaving no survivors. One year later, Quintus is offered the chance to redeem himself: he will need to lead a motley, fractious team--both human and animal--all the way to the gates of Hell.
