In the grand tradition of Watership Down–A saga of the great and gentle ones

It is a harsh but beautiful world–a remote fastness of shining tundra, rimmed by ice and sea and mountain. Silverhair and her kind have lived here from the earliest Rememberings, when Kilukpuk’s children first parted some for the jungle, some into the sea, and some into the rock and ice.

Hear their song! For they are the last of the woolly mammoths, the great, shaggy gentle ones whose bones have greened Earth’s grasses through the Long Years, for fifty million springs. Hear their story.

Silverhair is filled with the dreams of youth, and the warmth of Lop-ear’s child growing in her belly. But even as her life begins, her world is ending around her. A new menace, more vicious than wolf or bear, is descending upon the snowlands–a two-legged creature that kills for joy, and fouls the Earth for greed. Silverhair and the matriarch, Owlheart, must escape across the glacial torrents, beyond the saw-toothed mountains. They seek help and find it in unexpected sources, including the distant cousins who long ago found their destiny in the green arms of the sea, and from an enemy: an ice-faced menace known as…the Lost.
