Enter a darkly dystopian world full of eerie folklore,
in which illness and difference have been prohibited. But from
deep beneath the earth, a rebellion is rising... Perfect for fans
of Never Let Me Go and The Luminaries.
Ora has always been fascinated by chilling fairy stories of the
Vulpine - the mythical, fox-like monsters
who live below ground, emerging at night to snatch 'imperfect'
babies and children. Because Ora knows that disability and illness
have no place in her world. To succeed is to be genetically 'perfect',
just like her best friend Casta and his family.
Then, one day, Casta's baby sister disappears. And Ora's
mother reveals a long-buried secret: Ora herself has a genetic
illness that affects her lungs... And she's about to be found
out.
Desperate for answers and sanctuary, Ora decides to do the unthinkable
and seek out the fabled Vulpine. And below the earth, she
discovers a hidden world that turns everything she has been taught
upside-down...
A unique and powerful story about stepping into your power and
creating a better world, with a brilliant cast of disabled heroes,
from an author whose own experiences of chronic illness inform
Ora's.
A chilling dystopian world filled with eerie science fiction
and a sweet, slow-burn romance.
Perfect for fans of Never Let Me Go, A Handmaid's
Tale, The Hunger Games and The Luminaries.

Refund Policy
If you are not satisfied with your order in any way, get in touch. We have an excellent customer service record and we will do our best to ensure you are pleased with your purchase.
📄 Exercise Your Right of Withdrawal
Under EU consumer law, you have the right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days of receiving your order, without giving a reason. To formally exercise this right, use the button below. This is a distinct function separate from our general returns process.
Your right to cancel
If you order online, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your goods, without giving a reason. This cooling-off period runs from the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last item in your order. To cancel, contact us at shop@chaptersbookstore.com stating your order number and your wish to withdraw from the purchase. Once we've confirmed your cancellation, you have 14 days to send the goods back to us.
Condition of returned items
To be eligible for a refund, your item must be returned unworn, unused and unread, in its original packaging, and in the same condition you received it. You'll also need your receipt or proof of purchase. If your return is based on the item's condition on arrival, please include a photo so we can advise the best resolution.
Faulty or damaged items
Please inspect your order on arrival and contact us immediately if an item is defective, damaged, or not what you ordered. Separately from the 14-day cancellation right above, you're entitled to a repair, replacement or refund on faulty goods for up to two years from purchase, under standard consumer guarantee rights.
This guarantee covers manufacturing faults only, such as printing errors, missing pages, or binding defects present at the time of purchase. It does not cover damage arising from normal use or wear, including creased spines, worn covers, marked pages or general signs of reading. If you're unsure whether an issue qualifies, send us a photo and we'll be happy to advise.
