It is the depths of a bitter winter, and a young boy is sent by his mother to find help from the king who their father served faithfully. But on his journey the boy wanders off the path and into the icy forest - and in the forest he comes across two memorable figures: the blind hunter, mourning the loss of his only son in battle, and the beautiful, haunting white stage who hasn't been seen for one hundred years. Exquisite art illustrates this magical story of the redemptive power of love and trust.
