It's the harshest winter anyone can remember, and the vast waterways of the Fens are frozen solid, transformed into an Ice Road.

Ideal conditions for a surprise invasion by young King Arnald's banished uncle! Even Wickit Monastery is under threat - a bitter illness has struck down almost all the Brothers and ghost walks across the snow.

How can the orphan Pip and Perfect, the stone gargoyle, save the Brothers, their friend and the King and their country?
