Fia and her snow fox, Solas, always share a strong and unbreakable bond. When Fia's village faces an apparently endless winter, they turn to Solas and an ancient prophecy that promises the return of the sun and life, if the ultimate sacrifice is made.

Refusing to allow the worst, Fia and her cousin, Mis, flee their village with Solas, seeking the Mother of Deer - the mythical being that awakens the sun on the sacred date of the winter solstice and who might be their only hope.

But the wild is harsh and shadows lurk around every corner. Will they manage to reach the Mother of Deer? And, if they do, what choices will Fia be called to make to bring back the sun and save her village?

A powerful and beautiful fairy tale set in snowy prehistoric Ireland, about hope, kindness, and the strength of friendship, from the exceptional new author, Eilis Fisher, brought to life through wonderful illustrations by Dermot Flynn.
