In the dead of winter, find your warmth within. Young Emma of the anfylk dreams of a quiet life in her small countryside village. Home. Family. Husband. It's a simple dream, but it's hers. Only, the man who's proposed will never make a good father. A self styled huntsman and adventurer, but really an airhead and a scoundrel. Still, he's the only one for her. Her best friend since forever. There's even a home waiting for them to move in. But uncertainty gnaws. And villagers worry. For when a home too long stands empty, the spirit of its village grows weak, and the goddess turns her face away. So everyone watches, and everyone waits. And when a bear comes down from the mountains and makes their forest unsafe, the villagers can't drive it away. It's her fault. She dawdled too long. Didn't make up her mind. And now it's too late. To save her village, Emma must travel farther than she's ever been. To seek help against the bear, and to find the courage she needs to decide the future - for herself, her village, and the man who loves her.
