One cruel, freezing winter unlike any anyone could remember.
One spring that had forgotten to awaken.
One girl named Gaja, willing to climb into the mountains through the fiercest blizzard to awaken Vesna, the goddess of spring.
And not as a sacrifice, but as an act of love.
Love for her newborn brother, whom only a warm spring can save.
This is a story about snow-covered mountains hiding ancient secrets.
About woodland fairies singing beneath the moonlight.
About forgotten legends that still live among the peaks of Triglav.
As the blizzard rages across the Slovenian Alps and the village slowly sinks into despair, Gaja sets out on a journey through snow, ice, and dark fir forests where - according to old tales - ancient forces of nature still rule.
But the mountain does not reveal its secrets to everyone. Only to the chosen.
To awaken Vesna, Gaja must find a mountain spring hidden deep among the rocks before the first sunrise. And somewhere between the snow, the wind, and the silence of the harsh mountains waits something far more terrifying than winter itself. For the mountains give nothing freely - they always demand something in return.
A warm, mystical, and deeply emotional alpine fairytale about love, courage, and hope - for everyone who still believes that even the longest winter must one day come to an end.
