Caught in the mountains by a viscous winter storm, the Wandering Folk must reach Cliffhaven if there is any hope of saving Jen's sister from a virulent sickness. But savage ogres blocks the pass ahead, and the peaceful band of travelers cannot hope to overcome the huge brutes. Dare they pay the unspeakable price demanded for passage?
The ultimate choice will rest with Jen. Will she turn and run, or can she find the strength to endure the depraved hungers of monsters out of her worst nightmares?
