Fire, Bed and Bone

by Henrietta Branford

Set in fourteenth-century Britain, this powerful story is told through the eyes of a loyal hunting dog. When her beloved masters, Rufus and Comfort, are arrested for heresy during the Peasants’ Revolt, she is left to protect her puppy, Fleabane, and survive in a world of cruelty and unrest.

Amid injustice and upheaval, she must find strength, forge a new path, and hold on to loyalty and hope in the face of hardship.
