Beautifully lyrical in execution, this Oriental-setting, medieval-style fantasy strums all the themes of Man against Nature, Man against Monster, and Man against Himself. In a small village of fishermen and hunters, an anomalous Winter refuses to end. Fishing is poor, animals are scarce, elderly and newborns can't survive. Is this a freak weather event--or something more?
The answer is the proverbial lone brave warrior, a man formerly of battle and now of peace, the one who will sacrifice all to save his village.
