George Cooper, an arrogant English poultry judge, discounts Madeline's prize rooster at The National, the biggest and most important bird show in the United States. That same night, an accident simultaneously cripples her leg and kills almost the entirety of her prized flock. Now, Madeline is back on the show circuit, trying to start over.

And Maddie must work with wild and extraordinary Vixen.

Ben Flinder's life at an isolated hotel in the mountains is complicated by the arrival of a young woman who is trying to escape, but refuses to reveal from whom. She is befriended by the Gray Shadow, a wild wolf, but not even the wolf can prevent her capture by her pursuers.
