Description
The sun has disappeared, the Earth is frozen, life is hard. Little Darkness is an ordinary boy, born with a special gift that he only discovers when he finds a strange object on the ice. In deciding to pick the object up, his adventure begins; it will change him, the Earth, and all its inhabitants forever. This tale of hope is about remembering the ancient Inuit wisdom of the raven, respect for each other, and for nature.
