In Kine's lifetime the weasels have always their green and secret valley, equal to every threat.

But Kine, the hunter king, is growing old. Memories of past battles return to haunt him - memories made all the more painful by the death of his proud queen Kia.

It was then that he heard the rumour echoing around the hedges and river banks. Rumour of the threat that lay buried in the depths of the Moon Pond. Soon the day would dawn on the greatest challenge for a warrior king - a confrontation with an unseen and terrible enemy.
