The Kith had heroes, once. Nine guardians, drawn from all the peoples of the land to fight back against the invaders. But they all died or disappeared. And then the Empress returned. Arna is a young Kith Dreamwalker, able to part the Veil between this life and the next. She has resurrected Burruk, the Knight and first of the Nine, and now they travel together in search of his old friend Yuron, the Shifter, in order to bolster their ranks and further loosen the Empress's tethers to the physical world. But the wood they enter is a labyrinth, denying them at every turn, and what's more there seems to be more than one force working to make sure they fail in their quest. Can Arna and Burruk follow their Bloodline to renew Yuron and the bush? Or will they wander the Woods until their shades are stripped from their bodies. Renewal continues this epic fantasy series set in a uniquely Australian setting.
