No one can figure out why.Then one evening a man arrives at Alfonsos door, claiming to be Alfonsos long-lost uncle Hill. This uncle tells a fantastical tale Alfonsos ancestors hail from Dormiaan ancient kingdom of gifted sleeperswhich is hidden in the snowy peaks of the Ural Mountains. According to Hill, Dormia exists thanks to a tree known as the Founding Tree, with roots that pump life into the frozen valley. But the Founding Tree is now dying, and in a matter of days, Dormia faces an icy apocalypse.Dormias salvation lies with the Great Sleeper, who possesses the special powers to enter a sleep trance and grow a new Founding Tree.
