Fox kits Mia and Uly lose their families and find themselves alone in a world that wants to devour them. The young foxes must cross dangerous terrain as they search for safety and a new home. A flesh-hungry zombie stalks them through the darkness. A witch plans to steal their fur for her collection. A vengeful ghost refuses to let them escape. Each creature they encounter tests their courage and their bond with each other. Mia and Uly discover that survival requires more than quick paws and sharp teeth. They need each other. Through eight connected tales of terror, the fox kits learn that friendship can be the strongest magic against the monsters that hunt them.
