Short summary/description:
The Snow Queen case is notorious worldwide for two reasons: being a once-a-generation event, and the number of agents who have disappeared or died trying to solve it.
Moira, newly hired as a permanent agent in the Fairytale Division, is just the latest person to take a stab at this case. Can she solve it, or will she end up as yet another sad statistic at the agency?
Snippet:
“Do you remember the map you gave me after the Frog Prince case? The one I made such a huge fuss about?”
“Yes.”
“The Snowfall Kingdom is the domain of the Snow Queen, and she’s struck again.”
Moira looked confused. “What do you mean, struck again ?”
“Once a generation, the Snow Queen kidnaps all of the children from a random village in the Snowfall Kingdom. This has gone on for centuries, and no one has been able to figure out why she does it,” Anne explained. “Many, many agents have tried to solve this case, but they either go missing or turn up dead. The most recent information we’ve been able to obtain is that all of the children are eventually returned, physically unharmed but too terrified to speak of their experiences.”
“How recent is this information?”
“Fifty years,” Anne replied tartly.
