"Miliken and Mae Mae have never left The Trench-it's all they've ever known. They were born in The Trench, and they'll die there, just like all their people do. The two girls, eleven and eight, are a part of the Trenchfolk, a sprawling settlement of people living inside the massive ice walls of a vast, seemingly endless frozen trench carved into the surface of an otherwise icy wasteland. The Trenchfolk survive in this hostile world by following the Three Testaments of the Trench-golden rules repeated like a mantra from birth to death..."-- From publisher's description.
