Publisher's Synopsis
Once the river teemed with otters. But now Lut is the last survivor. Badly savaged by farm dogs, he is saved by a runaway boy. Together, boy and otter voyage through the misted marshes in search of a mate for Lut. The quest becomes a fight for survival in a mysterious and dangerous world. For this is the land of Hunter, an old and embittered otter-killer; of Esox, the giant pike; of Fingertaker, legendary Lord of the Marshes; of marksmen who poach the area for game and pelts.
