It’s dark. I’m running and running across the moors—​taking risks on the uneven ground to fly as fast as I can.

Arooooooo! The mournful cries of Wisht Hounds follow behind, and the fear makes me dig deep and go even faster.

But I can’t keep up this pace much longer. Panic twists my guts.

They are getting closer.

There is a chorus of howls—​not just behind me now, but around me as well. They are herding me to the most haunted place—​the twisted place where deals are done, and hope is lost.

I scramble up a rocky slope, desperate to find a way to escape them.

I stop dead when I see her.

Her eyes are a brilliant blue, her coat thick, her long tail black. The black brush fox. She stares at my wrist—​at Isobel’s bracelet hanging there.

The cries of the hounds freeze my blood. They are very near now, near enough that I can smell rank death on their breath, feel my own death getting closer.

The fox’s eyes are intelligent; she cocks her head to one side. She knows I am hers, that she is mine. With the hounds behind and the fox ahead, there is no real choice, but she wants it made freely.
