About This Book

A'tim, a half-wolf, half-husky dog outcast, ekes out an existence on the southern plains and forms a tentative companionship with Shag, an aged buffalo; together they set out for richer northern ranges as hunger and human hunting drive game away. The narrative follows their scavenging, encounters with wolf packs and hostile landscapes, and growing strain between loyalty and instinct, culminating in A'tim's desperate and dangerous choices amid muskeg and hard country. The work explores survival, belonging, and the conflicting instincts of animal nature against an encroaching human world.
