From publisher blurb: The mountain trading town of Pineforge suffers under a curse that dates back many years. In the summer months, all is well. When the winter snow flies down from the peaks, it comes bearing unearthly screams and howls. The snow falls fresh and clean, but when disturbed in any way, the upturned snow turns a lurid, shiny, red that does not fade until spring. The trade that drives the town’s prosperity is drying up as those that cannot stand the snow are moving away. Uncover the secrets, break the curse, save the town! Includes: A deadly encounter! A wizardly puzzle! A rain of frogs!
