When his blood freezes into priceless Blood Gems, Clara’s greedy sister-in-law, Ivy Cross, conspires with black-market merchant Mr. Sterling to imprison Oberon and harvest his blood for profit. Clara repeatedly risks her life to save him, while her cowardly brother, Ethan Shaw, enables Ivy’s cruelty.Their greed soon brings disaster. A mysterious White Blight seals the mountain, animals vanish, and the village faces starvation. Meanwhile, the Blood Gems begin spreading a deadly Frost Curse. Desperate to escape responsibility, Ivy and Sterling frame Clara for the catastrophe. Using the Heartguard Snow Lotus entrusted to her by Oberon, Clara saves Chairman Hayes and forces the case to be reopened. At the final trial, King Oberon breaks free from his icy prison and appears in person to testify, exposing the truth and bringing those who traded life for wealth to judgment.
