And there’s a secret passage made by owls and hiding in plain sight that may hold the key. The friends are divided but they’re not defeated, not by a long shot.By the end of the next ice age, all that remains of the once great, world-spanning human civilisation are myths and ancient, inexplicable artefacts lying at the feet of melting glaciers.
