Ren lives alone on the remote frontier of a country devastated by a coup. High on the forested slopes, she survives by hunting and trading-and forgetting.
But when a young soldier comes to the mountains in search of a local myth, Ren is inexorably drawn into her
impossible mission. As their lives entwine, unravel and erupt-as myths merge with reality-both Ren and the soldier are forced to confront what they regret, what they love, and what they fear.
Robbie Arnott's second novel remakes our relationship with the natural world.
