It was meant to be a relaxing school trip. It turned out to be a death trap.
Reiko Bergman and her friends are on a high school trip to the island of Hokkaido, in northern Japan. Sapporo city is host to the world-famous Snow Festival, where giant ice statues and sculptures are on display to the public.
They think they are out of danger. They think the Jewel, the third Imperial Treasure of japan, is safely protected. They think the Kagetori have given up their quest for revenge.
But then they realize they are being tracked through the snow-covered streets by shadowy assailants ...
An impenetrable force field appears around Sapporo city center, trapping Reiko and hundreds of people inside. The ice statues come to life, animated by one purpose; kill Reiko and anyone else who knows of the existence of the Jewel. The Snow Festival has become a death trap.
The stakes have never been higher ... the evil has never been colder ... and when Reiko finally discovers who is really behind the chaos, she finds herself at the edge of defeat, powerless to prevent the death of one of her friends ...
" ... combines the pace of a modern science fiction/fantasy novel with an authentic recreation of the atmosphere, society, history and mythology of Japan." - John Stroter Cairns, director of independent film "Schoolgirl Apocalypse."
