Under the Winter Forest is a warren of snug circular cells, in the dwarfs' mountains are shimmering, brilliantly lit chambers: it is a journey of discovery not just of peril.
And so Judith and Tobit and Brand's brother Thorn start for the High Castle, embarking on a journey that finds them now menaced by Hagerrak's creatures, no hurled back into the alien world of home, now and again rescued by Brand's allies the Water Folk, the dwarfs and the people of the Winter Forest. But Judith, who has the silver eyes of long-lived Lady Iorwen, is sure that she is meant to rout the usurper Hagerrak and regain the kingdom for Iorwen and her great-great-grandson Brand. Go softly, breathlessly, into ""a crystalline stillness forever between two instants of time."" Passing from the raw, rectilinear city into the rich tapestry of another realm are Judith and her older brother Tobit, knowing not how or why.
