Upon turning thirteen, Yuki is sent from Heaven to a bandit‑ravaged village, with a year to save its people or fade away. There she befriends orphaned children, tames the wild horse Blizzard, and inspires them and the farmers to resist the bandits and the greedy lord Goemon. Her greatest test comes when the angry Demon God of the volcano rises to threaten the valley.
