Synopsis
In the concluding volume of the Helliconia trilogy, the planet enters its centuries-long Great Winter as civilization retreats to the harsh polar continent of Sibornal. Against a backdrop of declining temperatures and collapsing societies, individuals struggle with plague, political upheaval, and the relentless forces of a world governed by vast astronomical cycles.
