Overview

Teen bookshelves are packed with vampires and other strays from medieval European culture, but here’s an alternative: Kunlun, a tale of Asian mystery, adventure, and lives on the line. At the heart of it is Vikki Beldark, a scrappy shape-shifting fox who finds herself on an fur-raising journey across China. Along the way she is swept into an interstellar battle centered on the failure of Earth-dwellers to care for their own planet.
