The women of Akiak's village have a special talent. They can attune to a rare, magical crystal that falls with the snow. Living in the icy wilderness, this crystal is key to warming their igloos through the winter months. Except Akiak's attunement to the crystal is weaker than her peers. Determined to protect her family, Akiak must try a new approach if she is to collect enough crystal in time.
