When a young vixen discovers a valley of dead foxes and badgers, a meeting is held at Beech Paw and a great journey begins to find a safe home - the place foretold by the Bow in the Sky. And the foxes from Sinna are joined by badgers and the lively otter, Whiskers.

On route, however, there are snares, traps, electric fences, risks and dangers to be avoided or overcome.

This wildlife novel continues the saga begun in Run with the Wind, Run to Earth and Run Swift, Run Free, the trilogy which won the Irish Children's Book Trust Best Book of the Decade Award.
