"Blazing...Visceral...As McConaghy shows in this stunning book, the limits of language lead us to the limits of empathy." -Los Angeles Times

"This heart-pounding novel digs into the complex relationships between humans-and the creatures with which we share the natural world." -Newsweek

"Suspenseful and poignant...[Inti's] story unfolds as a meditation on the social and scientific consequences of influencing ecosystems, while reminding us that humans and animals alike can break our hearts." -Scientific American

"Lyrical, captivating, thought-provoking and thrilling, this immersive read will capture your attention from the first page." -Good Morning America

"Bold...A heartfelt and earnest novel." -The New York Times Book Review

"Far more than an old wolves' tale. Instead, it illustrates what it's like to be an outsider-from both a human and animal perspective-and the level of healing and acceptance it takes from within to be accepted and to accept yourself." -Electric Literature
