Publisher's Synopsis
Deep in the Forest, the foxes live in an underground city. They didn't build it themselves: led by Reynard the fox, they enslaved wolves to do the work. By teaching language to the wolves, the clever foxes control them with the power of speech. Now Isengrim, Hersent and their pups are the only wolves left in the Forest. They use clay with magical properties to heal their wounds, and move between the human and animal worlds using hidden passageways as they fight to survive. One day, Isengrim gets injured. He is helped by a boy, Silas. Silas finds speaking difficult - except when in the company of the wolves. When the foxes kidnap the wolf pups, Silas is determined to help his new friends to rescue their young. He must find his voice to undermine Reynard's power and destroy the foxes' city.
