The story follows Garin Featherstone, a disillusioned war veteran who embarks on an expedition to Antarctica that leads him to a hidden world beneath a polar ice cap. This mysterious land is inhabited by intelligent, lizard-like beings known as the Folk, who are embroiled in a struggle against the malevolent Black Ones, with Garin drawn into their conflict and tasked with a crucial prophecy. The narrative centers around Garin as he crash-lands in this alien environment after his plane is caught in a bizarre haze. He encounters the Folk, who save him and reveal a plot involving the disappearance of a figure known as Thrala, the Daughter of the Light. As tensions rise between the Folk and the Black Ones, Garin learns that his arrival was prophesied and that he must rescue Thrala from the clutches of their enemies to prevent catastrophe. His journey unfolds with themes of destiny, bravery, and the fight against evil, culminating in a battle that will determine the fate of both worlds. The book explores the rich dynamics between Garin, Thrala, and the various civilizations that populate the underground realm, making it a captivating read for fans of adventure fantasy.
