In the Prisoner Of The Night Review, Nartide is a sweet girl who lives with her parents in a big house until, ignoring her mother’s advice, she sleeps without a blanket’s protection. That night, the cold wind of the night, called Cruviana, came in through the window and took little Nartide as her prisoner. Stuck in an eternal night, Nartide must find the light of her life and then search for a way home.
