This is a story about hope overcoming evil, written with satisfying
moral complexity. Ruth's devastation breaks apart time. She sees that
her hopes and dreams are a visceral halo of rainbow colours spinning to
white... and that evil dream thieves are severing these halos from
sleeping victims, many of whom she knows. Those disturbing dreams of
black snow lead Ruth to a perilous discovery: one dream thief is
connected to her grandfather and the candle-maker's bou Jude from long
ago.
