Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of The Once and Future Witches Quintus Shual is the worlds only navigating fox.

Hes also in disgrace after leading an expedition to its doom a year earlier, with dozens of lives lost.

Now Quintus has a chance to redeem himself by leading a brand-new expedition to the gates of hell.

In return, he is promised the eventual truth of his origins and his solitary existence.

Those who will accompany Quintus are the Holy Priest Scipio Aemilanus; scholar Octavia Delphina, whose sister was lost in the first expedition; the twin raccoon cartographers Loci and Foci; and the powerful bison ambassador Walks Along Woman.

As the journey grows more perilous and the agendas of its members more sinister, Quintus must make an impossible choice between obtaining the secret of his creation, or sacrificing that possibility forever in order to seize his destiny.
