-EXCELLENT,- says the bard. -It-s probably a good idea for you to know about him.-
-Wait . . . him? Who-s him?- said Rue.
-Uki,- says the bard. -Uki Patchwork. The Magpie Demon. Uki of the Two Furs.-
From the Ice Wastes beyond the Cinder Wall emerges an unlikely hero. Rejected by his village and left to die, young Uki is given life and unique powers by a long-buried spirit from the time of the Ancients . . . and a life or death mission.
Joined by two other outcasts - a trained assassin who refuses to kill people and a very short rabbit who rides the fastest jerboa on the plains - Uki must capture Valkus, the Spirit of War, before rabbitkind destroys itself in conflict.
A thrilling new book set in the Five
