Powerful, layered, and suspenseful; a compelling exploration of loyalty, survival, and moral conflict.
Bush’s thrilling latest novel plunges readers into the chaos of 1536, a Europe divided by ideological conflicts, through the lives of its vivid animal characters. Gert, a determined cat, scurries alongside his young family as they flee their war-torn homeland in search of safety, but every step brings them closer to danger and oppression. Can Gert protect his loved ones? Can he keep their tightly-knit pack from unraveling? And above all, will they ever find a sanctuary to call home?
Bush’s world-building is meticulous; from the powerful Heartlandia to the untamed Brawnlandia, each realm mirrors humanity’s moral and ideological battles. Gert’s journey, marked by betrayal, loss, and fierce loyalty, is rooted in authenticity, making the story feel both timeless and urgent. The dialogue crackles with sharpness, adding depth to the already rich narrative. With suspenseful twists and vividly developed characters, this impactful story sheds light on the nature of division and the pursuit of peace during troubled times. Readers who enjoy complex stories woven with historical context and moral exploration won’t want to miss this one.
