Publisher's summary

Billi has always been different, and how could he not be? A man with one leg was uncommon enough. Then a three-legged Hound, Rabbit, came from the Forest and sat by his wheelchair, and he had to learn to be a Hunter. Paired for life, Hunters and Hounds are vital to their Village for hunting and protection in the Forest. They share a wordless song that allows them to know each other’s moods and warn of danger. Rules about the Farm and Forest keep the villagers safe - no living tree can be cut, and any man without a Hound is prey once in the Forest.

But an unexpected turn of events leads Billi into new territory. A solitary life evolves as he explores the Forest and finds friends in unlikely places. Now Billi must learn about gifts, chasing, catching, and sparkuls as he includes others in his life. Light on magic, but big on heart, Billi’s story rings a chord with anyone who’s ever felt they don’t fit in.

Join Billi on a world-building journey through a land you almost feel you recognize that still has the ability to surprise you.

Great novel where the underdog wins

I really enjoyed this book. I think there is a part that is missing, but it’s ok. Who was trying to get into his home closer to the end. Anyways thanks for the story. I am impressed. Light in magic, but big in story.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
