Publisher's Synopsis
What follows is an account of the foxes of London and of the great subterranean burrow where they live; a home which is much larger and much older than the borough of the Hansta, the Humans, above it. The Light which gives only foxes and only those foxes born in London the gift of self-awareness is fading and a half-breed of shadow foxes is emerging from the darkness. Controlled by the totalitarian Council of Brothers, they are more savage and more powerful than their enlightened brethren, making them the perfect servants or the perfect thugs. There is one who could save the Burrow and cure the Light, however. Born out of the Light yet of it, he is Roe; a criminal, a murderer, a fighter...the Progeny of Able. Join him for a fantastical dash around the sinuous streets of East London.
