For some creatures, running and hiding is the only way to stay alive. But no one can run forever.

Sorrel and her twins are malthropes, creatures hated by the people of their world. Years of searching for a place where they can be safe has brought them to a mysterious new land. It would be a paradise if not for the terrible beast who casts its shadow over the people who call it home.

The Story of Sorrel is a novella in the Book of Deacon saga, continuing the tale that began in The Rise of the Red Shadow.
