PROLOGUE1
Cold gripped the forest, fields, andmoorland like an icy claw. Snow covered everything, glittering faintly under a new moon. Nothing broke the silence in the forest except for the occasional soft rush of snow sliding from the branches of trees and the faint rasping of dried reeds when the wind swept through them. Even the murmur2 of the river was stilled by the ice that stretched from bank to bank.
There was a flicker3 of movement at the edge of the river. A large tomcat, his bracken-colored fur fluffed up against the cold, emerged from the reeds. He shook snow impatiently from his paws as he sank into the soft drifts with every step.
In front of him, two tiny kits5 struggled forward with faint mews of distress6. They floundered in the powdery snow, the fur on their legs and belly7 matted into icy clumps9, but every time they tried to stop, the tomcat nudged them on.
The three cats trudged10 along the river until it widened out, and they drew level with a small island not far from the bank. Thick beds of reeds surrounded it, their dry stems poking11 up through the ice. Stunted12, leafless willow13 trees concealed14 the center of the island behind snow-covered boughs
