For some creatures, running and hiding may be the only way to remain alive. But no one can run forever. Sorrel and her twins are malanthropes, animals hated by the people of their globe. Years of searching for a place where they could be safe has taken these to a inexplicable new land. It might be a heaven if not really for the terrible beast who casts its shadow for the people who call it home. THE STORYPLOT of Sorrel is normally a short book in the Book of Deacon series, picking up the story of Sorrel and her children soon after The Rise from the Red Shadow left off.
