FOX FIRES is a fantasy-adventure that is inspired by Finnish
folklore. "Fox Fires" refers to the Northern Lights; a literal
translation from the Finnish word "revontulet." (Revontulet = Repo's
fires.) The Fox Fires are a gate between this world and the land of the
dead - it allows souls to visit their loved ones. But suddenly, the Fox
Fires disappear. Our main character, a young raccoon dog named Raate,
heads north to find what's happened to Repo, the fire fox whose burning
fur is said to make the Fox Fires appear in the sky. On her journey,
Raate meets all kinds of interesting creatures, and also new
friends.
