He\u003cbr\u003ewas sleeping so soundly that he didn’t wake up when she\u003cbr\u003egently eased out of his embrace. Whatever he was encountering\u003cbr\u003ein his dreams made him smile, and Fox ran her fingers\u003cbr\u003eover his lips as if she could read what he was dreaming. The\u003cbr\u003etwo moons that shone on her world dappled his forehead\u003cbr\u003ewith rusty red and pale silver, and birds whose names she\u003cbr\u003edidn’t know cried outside the inn.\u003cbr\u003eDoryeong… Her tongue could barely pronounce the\u003cbr\u003ename of the port city where they had arrived the day before.\u003cbr\u003eThey had given up. Maybe that was why Jacob was sleeping\u003cbr\u003eso deeply. After all the months in which they had lost\u003cbr\u003ehis brother’s trail and picked it up again countless times. A\u003cbr\u003etime or two, they had almost caught up with Will. But by\u003cbr\u003enow they had been searching in vain for weeks for any sign\u003cbr\u003eof him, and yesterday, as the sun had set over a strange sea,\u003cbr\u003ethey had finally decided to call it off. Even Jacob believed\u003cbr\u003ethat his brother did not want to be found after all that had\u003cbr\u003ehappened, and that it was time to go their separate ways.\u003cbr\u003eSo why could she still not sleep? Was it because she wasn’t\u003cbr\u003eused to being so blissfully happy?\u003cbr\u003eFox pulled the quilt over Jacob’s shoulder. Their own\u003cbr\u003epath. Finally. A sprig of white blossoms filled the room\u003cbr\u003ethey were sleeping in with lush, sweet fragrance. Two more\u003cbr\u003etravelers were sleeping on the mats the landlady had wordlessly\u003cbr\u003erolled out for them. The ferry to Aotearoa ran out of\u003cbr\u003eDoryeong. An old friend of Jacob’s, Robert Dunbar, kept\u003cbr\u003esending enthusiastic telegrams from there, which told of\u003cbr\u003ethree-eyed lizards, of enchanted whale bones, and of wild\u003cbr\u003ekings who had the fern forests of their homeland tattooed\u003cbr\u003eon their skin.\u003cbr\u003eTheir own path. Fox kissed the moonlight off Jacob’s face\u003cbr\u003eand carefully slipped out from under the quilt that warmed\u003cbr\u003ethem both. The night lured the vixen outside. Maybe if she\u003cbr\u003ewore the fur, all this human happiness wouldn’t make her\u003cbr\u003eheart overflow so much.\u003cbr\u003eShe stole past the two stone dragons that guarded the\u003cbr\u003eentrance to the modest inn, and under trees that swayed their\u003cbr\u003ebranches in the breeze from the nearby sea, she changed. The\u003cbr\u003einn stood on an unpaved road, and the flat wooden houses\u003cbr\u003ethat lined it wore their roofs like wooden cowls. Doryeong\u003cbr\u003ewas nothing like the seaside village where Fox had grown\u003cbr\u003eup. Even the fishing boats on the dark waves that lined the\u003cbr\u003eharbor just a few houses away seemed to come from a fairy\u003cbr\u003etale she had never heard of before.First publication of the fourth book in Cornelia Funke’s breathlessly thrilling, internationally bestselling Reckless series","brand":"Pushkin Children's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304628048101,"sku":"NP9781782693345","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781782693345.jpg?v=1767735518","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/reckless-iv-the-silver-tracks-isbn-9781782693345","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
