An absorbing historical adventure by the award-winning author of the Samurai Kids series, Sandy Fussell.

“The ancient ones whisper to me, Iluak,” Nana says. “They talk about you. They say a bear is waiting.” In the land of snow and ice, where the midwinter sun doesn’t rise and it’s black all day, Iluak is afraid. But he’s not afraid of the darkness. No one here is. He’s afraid of whiter things.
