Long ago and far away, on the great snow-covered steppe of Russia …

Sasha and his family are excited about the railway coming to their remote village. But Ferdy isn’t so sure. He is afraid that the railway will bring new people who do not know that the wolves and humans have learnt to live together without fear. With the long winter coming, how will Ferdy and his pack survive if they have to hide away? And how will newcomers manage, if they are too scared to go out?

Sasha and Ferdy’s special friendship is put to the test in this sequel to Sasha and the Wolfcub.
