A heartwarming fantasy tale with a New Year's plot, secrets, and mysteries.

On an island in the middle of the northern seas stands a castle where snow maidens and apprentices study.

Just a little more, and eleven-year-old snow maiden Alyona Salinder will be expelled from the school. She really needs to prove herself on the Assignment! But alas: on her very first flight, Alyona's bag of magical toys, which she was supposed to give to children for the New Year, is stolen. Due to a series of misfortunes and strange coincidences, Alyona thinks that the White Seagull is hunting her. This witch destroyed one of the school's students many years ago and disappeared without a trace. And along with her, the Crystal of the North, in which the magic of winter is concentrated, also disappeared.

Alyona feels a connection with the elusive Keeper of the Crystal. Perhaps she is the one who knows why Alyona dreams a nightmare almost every night? In this terrifying dream, the snow maiden turns into ice again and again.
Searching for the gifts with her faithful polar fox, Alyona does not suspect: she herself is the main key to the mystery of the missing Keeper.
