Ben Sterling's family have all passed away in a [[NoodleIncident mysterious incident]]. After being sent to live with his aunt Beryl, the 8-year-old runs away to the village of Stargrave to visit their graves. While in the Stargrave Cemetery, he sees something floating in the air that sends him into a trancelike state. Upon returning to his aunt's house, Ben finds a book called Of the Midnight Sun written by his great-grandfather, Edward Sterling. This ancestor was a folklorist who ventured into some of the coldest regions of the world to collect stories passed down through countless centuries. He was regarded as an eccentric, with his descendants being looked askance by the townspeople decades after his ill-fated adventure into the GrimUpNorth. Ben's aunt does not hold a high regard for the Sterlings herself, and takes the book away from Ben after she catches him sneaking a glimpse at it.
