Ophelia discovers a boy who's imprisoned...by the Snow Queen; to rescue him, Ophelia must find the boy's missing sword. This is a fable of psychic healing, in which Ophelia, mourning her mother, must battle the Queen armed only with her powers as "defender of goodness and happiness and hope." Foxlee's deftness with characterization and setting makes this a satisfying fantasy.
