Gone to Earth

A fox slips through the Callow’s cold spring woods at a girl’s whistle. “If you’m alost, I’m alost,” Hazel Woodus tells it—and races home with the wild creature at her heels.

On a lonely hill above a tiny cottage, Hazel has grown up among larches and thickets, with the untamed woods for company. Her mother’s wandering spirit lives on in her, along with a battered book of spells; her father Abel is absorbed in his harp, scarcely noticing his daughter. Hazel’s closest companion is Foxy, and the wild offers a freedom the cramped household cannot. Yet as dusk stains girl and fox with the same fierce red light, their small, brave figures seem to face a destiny neither can understand. What lies beyond the Callow?
