An animal adventure set in the transition from the ice age to the present epoch. Shadowshine, with all the philosophical musings of its quirky yet remarkable characters, is a story of self-discovery and of perseverance, of the battle between good and wickedness, and of strong and lovable players who never give up. By an open-minded, intellectual approach, these players known as the forest-folk, begin to uncover a dangerous flaw in the human species, the absence of its own identity in the face of nature.
