The initial concept was about two animal protagonists with different and specific features who would go on an adventure together using their disparities in common benefit when needed. At night.
The cover and the main title “The Night Hunt” already give some clues, but mainly it is about friendship, cooperation and a bit of hide-and-seek. We follow two unusual companions on their stealthy quest for food in the human territory with an unexpected third-party. The story can also refer to the wild animals forced to accommodate to the inevitable growth of urban areas into their origin habitat in order to survive.
I would like to thank to all my close ones as enthusiastic beta readers and especially my university teacher and illustrator Renáta Fučíková.
