ILLUSTRATED BY CHRIS VAN ALLSBURG Although her kingdom has lived in peace for many years, the queen has always feared the day the Usurper would return to plunge her city into darkness. Even as she rejoices in the birth of her first child, she sees signs of impending danger. Her husband and his army have vanished in the wilderness. With only a short time left to reinforce the kingdoms defense, her faithful general masterminds a strategy to keep the city safe, against great odds. But even when the Usurper’s victory may seem to be complete, the mysterious veil of snows hides a symbol of undying hope. The Veil of Snow is a moving and powerful tale about the light of the human spirit, a light that can never be wholly extinguished.
