In this fifth book about Rowan, he and three friends trek into the mountains to find a way to end an unnaturally long and cold winter. They face the terrifying ice creepers--snakelike monsters--and other seemingly impossible obstacles, guided only by a series of prophesies. The exciting plot ties together events from the previous books and provides further insight into Rowan's character.
