Produktbeschreibung

How do you save someone lost in time? At the stroke of midnight on winter solstice, Libby disappears - vanishing from the face of the Earth.

To find Libby and bring her safely home, the pair must embark on a perilous journey into the distant past, across a land steeped in ancient folklore.
