En el noveno cumpleaños de Gwyn, su abuela le revela que podría ser un mago, como sus antepasados galeses. Le da cinco regalos para ayudarlo: un broche, un trozo de alga marina seca, un silbato de hojalata, una bufanda y un caballo de juguete roto. Un día ventoso, sin saber qué hacer con su nueva magia, Gwyn lanza el broche al viento y recibe a cambio una araña de nieve plateada. ¿Será capaz de usar esta araña especial para traer a su hermana desaparecida, Bethan, a casa? 'La araña de nieve' teje una red helada y brillante de intriga mística que prepara el escenario para los dos siguientes libros de esta destacada trilogía.
