A Place Of Stone And Darkness
Hardback Edition: 1
When the human creatures appeared, they ravaged the forests and hunted many birds to extinction. The flightless Striggs had only one option-
They went down, down under the ground . . . And it's there, as you may have heard it whispered, that they still remain. Far below, in a place of stone and darkness . . .
Over thousands of years, they colonised a labyrinth of tunnels and caves, but even underground the Striggs are not safe -- chemicals now pollute their water and a deadly sickness threatens the flock.
Even worse -- an inquisitive young Strigg called Ellee Meddo discovers a human boy, trapped deep in a well. Humans are to be feared and saving him could mean travelling to the surface, a place of untold peril. What will Ellee decide to do?
