From the snow-covered forests of primitive Canada, land of myth and magic, comes a tale of incest, lust and murder, of a young girl's quest to save her people.
Ingrid, the healer's beautiful daughter from the Viking settlement of Wayland, is pledged to redeem her village from the ravages of the Grey Folk, the bog-drowned victims of the ancient Norse rituals. Alone she sets out across the vast and terrible landscape of the far north in search of the elixir of power she is told will restore Wayland to a life without fear.
Her quest is imperilled by witchcraft, magic, and violence. But Ingrid also finds love and passion, and discovers the secret strength of womanhood that will help her confront, at last, the ancient power of Odin, Rune-master and tyrant god.
