And for the first time, Gauge is left all alone, with a bounty on his head and the Wolf at his heels. 
  A young feather collector named Roux offers Gauge assistance, and he is eager for the help. But soon the two—both recently orphaned—are questioning everything they have ever believed about their village, about the Wolf, and about death itself.
