|a"Twelve-year-old Chloe Ashton is an only child living in the remote wilderness of Oregon. She spends her day happily exploring the forests around her home, and is astonished to find the animals seem to know her, follow her, and even try to speak to her. Whan a family tragedy results in Chloe's abduction and sale to the vagabonds, she is taken deeper into the woods--where she finds out just how much the animals know. Set at a time when technology first touches the West, there is a new evil rising in the land. The country is under attack, and all creatures, man and beast, must hide. The old legends speak of an ancient, natural magic deep within the mountains and rivers, and as Chloe struggles to survive, she finds that it still exists in the heart of the forests--and that friendship can be found even in the darkest of places, though it doesn't always come in human form."--|cPage 4 of cover.
