Inside the June Alley Inn, mice gather to tell fantastic tales,
each trying to outdo the other. A competition, of sorts, begins.
The rules: every story must contain one truth, one lie and have
never been told in that tavern before.
In the world of Mouse Guard, mice struggle to live safely and
prosper amongst harsh conditions and a host of predators. Thus the
Mouse Guard was formed: more than just soldiers that fight off
intruders, they are guides for common mice looking to journey
without confrontation from one hidden village to another. The Guard
patrol borders, find safeways and paths through dangerous
territories and treacherous terrain, watch weather patterns, and
keep the mouse territories free of predatory infestation. They do
so with fearless dedication so that they might not just exist, but
truly live. Saxon, Kenzie and Lieam, three such Guardsmice, are
dispatched to find a missing merchant mouse that never arrived at
his destination. Their search for the missing mouse reveals much
more than they expect, as they stumble across a traitor in the
Guard's own ranks.

In Heartsblood, nationally acclaimed nature writer and veteran
outdoorsman David Petersen takes a clear-eyed look at humans and
hunting, and reaches conclusions sure to challenge everyone's
preconceptions. He draws clear distinctions between true hunting
and contemporary hunter behavior, praising what's right about the
former and damning what's wrong with the latter. Along with his
extensive personal experience, Petersen draws on philosophy,
evolutionary science, biology, and empirical studies to create an
engaging and literate work that offers a unique look at hunting,
hunters, anti-hunting, and, in the words of the author, "life's
basic truths."
