9.2 | 1.0.1
The cloud coyotes howled in the moonlight. And Snow Woman comes to put the world to rest for winter. She frosts the fields, stills the stream, and brushes the last brittle leaves from the trees. Last of all, she sends one small reluctant bear scampering off to his warm winter den. Then, having tucked each creature in, Snow Woman blankets the earth in white.
Reminiscent of Native American legend, One Cold Night glows with the magic of the coming of winter.
One Cold Night is a part of the Auracle line from Auryn. The app is based on Claire Ewart’s book by the same name.
