The winter festival is approaching for the hardy colony of Morphans, but no one is in the mood to celebrate. They're trying to build a new life on a cold new world, but each year it gets harder and harder. It's almost as if some dark force is working against them. Then three mysterious travellers arrive out of the midwinter night. Are they bringing the gift of salvation, or doom? What else lurks out there in the dark? What else might be about to wake up? Michael Maloney reads this original adventure by Dan Abnett, featuring the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory
