Description
Winter, 1617. The sea around the remote Norwegian island of Vardo is thrown into a violent storm. A young woman, Maren, watches as the men of the island, out fishing, perish in an instant. Vardo is now a place of women. Eighteen months later, a sinister figure arrives. Summoned from Scotland to take control of a place at the edge of the civilized world, Absalom Cornet knows what he must do to bring the island’s women to heel. His young wife, Ursa, travels with him. In her new home, and in Maren, Ursa discovers something she has never seen before: independent women. But Absalom sees only a place overwhelmed by terrible evil, which he must root out at all costs.
