Nominated for the 2019 CILIP Carnegie MedalIn 1592, a girl with spirit is a threat.Ruth has secrets. An old book of heresy belonging to her long-absent father. A dream that haunts her. And a love that she and Silas hide from the world.When she is robbed of all she holds true, her friends from Crowbury slide into terrible danger.
Hope is as faint as a moonbow. Dare Ruth trust the shadowy one who could destroy them all?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 boy, Jude, from long ago. It’s a fight to the death. To save Ruth, Jude makes the ultimate sacrifice.
