The winter has been painfully hard for Silverlady's tribe. Food is scarce, the snow is deep, and the neighboring tribe, led by the Imago, threatens war.
But when Thorn, her closest friend, falls in an attack from the Outcast, Silverlady must fight alone to stop an oncoming war and to save her fellow raccoons. It seems that everything she does goes wrong.
So Silverlady goes to meet the Outcast on her own turf — in the Underworld, surrounded by the spirits of the dead —to bring an end to this hard winter.
War rages above the ground and below the ground ... and nothing, nothing, nothing is what it seems.
Readers who enjoy Brian Jacques' Redwall series, or Erin Hunter's Warriors and Seekers series will enjoy this mystical journey into winter in a raccoon's world.
