From Stephen Baxter, one of today's most acclaimed writers of science fiction and fantasy, comes this unforgettable saga of life and loss in the grand tradition of Watership Down.

Soon to be a mother, Silverhair looks to the future with hope. But even as her life begins, the world she loves is ending.
