Seven dogs. Ten miles of ice. One way home.

Copper is a stout, fiercely loyal Corgi, the undisputed watchman of a working-class Chinese hutong. Mochi is a pampered Pekingese, an imperial "Porcelain Princess" living safely inside a climate-controlled luxury complex. They have nothing in common, until they are both snatched by a desperate trafficker and thrown into the pitch-black, freezing cargo hold of a rusted white van.

Bound by terror, Copper and Mochi manage a miraculous escape alongside a diverse group of captives: a wise but aging Golden Retriever, a lethal and intelligent Husky mix, two fearless terriers, and Tie, a massive, heavily scarred street dog who answers to no one. Together, they form an unlikely Huoji (partnership).

But escaping the cage was only the beginning.

Stranded in the brutal, negative-twenty-degree agricultural wasteland of Northeast China, the pack must navigate a deadly gauntlet. They face the suffocating fury of a Siberian blizzard, the agonizing grip of starvation, and a ruthless pack of feral apex scavengers. Worse still, the hunter is closing in, armed with a wire catch-pole and driven by a desperate, lethal panic.

To survive the "Ten-Mile Ghost" and make it back to the glowing lights of the Concrete Forest, these seven lost dogs must strip away the lives they once knew. The lapdog must learn to fight. The street dog must learn to trust. And the watchman must lead them all.

Seven Tails: A Novel of the Ten-Mile Ghost is a gripping, visceral survival thriller told entirely from the canine perspective. Unflinching and deeply emotional, it is a story for fans of Jack London’s The Call of the Wild, Richard Adams’s Watership Down, and anyone who understands the unbreakable, primal bond of the pack.
