Adela, a retired soldier, is stripped of her inheritance by her half-brother during an ice-age apocalypse, left with only fifteen acres of frozen land and a rusty hoe. Her honest heart earns her a divine hoe from an angel's trial—it thaws the soil, unearths a spirit spring, and powers her hunting and healing; she even cures supply-center chief Gisela to win official licensing. Battling villains like the Guy family and Mayor Thurlow with her soldier's skill and the enchanted hoe, she builds the Sunset Town supply station and lays the foundation of an agricultural empire in the frozen wasteland.
