river, and which stalk the streets after dark. When Thaniel Fox, a young wych-hunter, finds a mad
girl wandering the streets in the middle of the night, he is moved by pity to take her home; and in
doing so, he becomes embroiled in a plot that reaches into the highest levels of government, and
into the darkest depths of the wych-kin's world. For additional information click
