A New York Times bestseller! ?Long before I heard the word, I was used to being last. I am small. And sometimes disappointing. But I am brave as well. I am not afraid to be the first to die. I just do not want to be the last to live. I do not want to be the endling.? Byx is the youngest member of her dairne pack, a rare doglike species. Rumored to have remarkable abilities, dairnes have been hunted to near-extinction in the war-torn kingdom of Nedarra. When her pack is lured into a trap and wiped out, it seems Byx may be the last of her species: an endling. As Byx sets out on a quest to find a safe haven?and perhaps even another of her kind?she meets new allies, who each have their own motivations for joining her: Tobble, a worthy wobbyk; Khara, a human girl of many disguises; Renzo, a thief with honor; and Gambler, a principled felivet. They begin as strangers and grow to be their own kind of family, and together they will uncover a secret that will threaten the existence of not just the dairnes, but every other creature in their world.
