About this audiobook
High on a mountain in a winter storm, a tiny dog is torn from his family and swept away down a raging river.
Far across the sea, in the green mist of Fujian, two white dogs carried from nowhere by a hooded traveller are about to break out of a palace and run for their lives.
None of them know each other yet. None of them know why something keeps pulling them west, across the sea, towards a land of green hills they have never seen. But one by one, through storms and shipwreck, loss and loyalty, their paths are drawing together.
The Calling: A Tale of Tails is the dog-led prequel to the Lands of Dragons epic. It's a story of courage, grief and found family, for readers of 12 and up and for grown-ups too.
Kindness costs, but matters most. Grief doesn't have to be the end. And home isn't a place. It's the ones who walk beside you.
Also available in a 9+ Edition and a 6+ Read-Aloud Edition, so the whole family can share the same story.
