Meanwhile, nine-year-old Tiggy Thistle lives hidden and safe with a kindly Badger – until the day she meets the elf Crumple Stiltskin, one of the crafty Stiltskin brothers, and suddenly she must run from her happy home.
So begins Tiggy's quest to find Zam, Phoebe and Bathsheba – the lost guardians – and their beautiful cloud horses. The only people, she believes, who can save the kingdom from the curse of endless winter . . .
