Edward the Scottish Terrier has always known things John couldn't - the fox two ridges over, the storm still a day out, the scent of something that shouldn't exist. He's a small dog with a big dog's instincts, and out here in the deep pine country, those instincts are the only warning system they have. John just wanted the woods to be what they'd always been: quiet, familiar, his. A place to leave the world behind for a night or two, with nothing but a fire, a fishing pole, and Edward at his feet. But something followed them in from the dark - something old, something patient, something that doesn't belong in any field guide John ever read. And as the fire burns low and the forest goes silent around them, man and dog will learn just how much they're willing to protect each other when morning feels impossibly far away. A story about the wild places that still exist - and the small, stubborn loyalty that might be the only thing that gets you out of them.
