description: The Earth colony of Landin has been stranded on Werel for ten years. But ten of Werel's years are over 600 terrestrial years. The lonely &amp; dwindling human settlement is beginning to feel the strain. Every winter --a season that lasts for 15 years-- the Earthmen have neighbors: the humanoid hilfs, a nomadic people who only settle down for the cruel cold spell. The hilfs fear the Earthmen, whom they think of as witches &amp; call the farborns. But hilfs &amp; farborns have common enemies: the hordes of ravaging barbarians called gaals &amp; eerie preying snow ghouls. Will they join forces or be annihilated?
