Things might be a bit parky in the aptly named Winter’s Edge, but young rat Arlo is looking on the bright side. After all, his father is about to take him out on his first hunt – a rite of passage for which he’s been preparing for some time. Within this fortified settlement, the rodent townsfolk seem rather satisfied with their lot, if the hubbub around the castle is anything to go by. And they don’t have to worry about the amphibious aggressors their kind in the south are constantly having to fend off. “Why,” narrator Doug Cockle asks, his bassy growl ladling on thick helpings of portent, “should he want for more?” Well, we’re about to find out.
