A gorgeous paperback box set of the New York Times bestselling epic
animal fantasy Endling trilogy, which Kirkus called "simply sublime,"
from powerhouse author Katherine Applegate.
"Long before I heard the word, I was used to being last. I am small.
And sometimes disappointing. But I am brave as well. I am not afraid to
be the first to die. I just do not want to be the last to live. I do not
want to be the endling."
Byx is the youngest member of her dairne pack. Believed to possess
remarkable abilities, her mythical doglike species has been hunted to
near-extinction in the war-torn kingdom of Nedarra. After her pack is
hunted down and slaughtered, Byx fears she may be the last of her
species: the endling.
As Byx sets out to find safe haven--and perhaps even another of her
kind--she meets new allies, who have their own motivations for joining
her quest. Together this ragtag group of animals and humans will help
put into motion events that could bring the kingdom to the brink of war.
With its unique setting, compelling animal and human characters, and
fast-paced adventure, this middle grade series featuring black-and-white
illustrations is the perfect next read for fans of the Wings of Fire and
Warriors series and A Wolf Called Wander.
