Long before the Sun warmed the fields and the Moon calmed the night, two children-Hana and Jun-outwit a mysterious hungry tiger, follow a silver sky-thread into a palace in the heavens, and receive gifts from the Heavenly Grandmother: star-seeds, a day-bead, and a promise that love can keep the dark at bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a creeping evil shadow tries to swallow the village, Hana and Jun act with steady hearts.
