description: In a Sweden wracked by war and haunted by folk stories so dark they can only be spoken of in whispers Helvig has been raised by her brigand father to steal whatever treasure catches her eye. When her men ambush a strange girl on the road with hair pale as death and a crow perched on her shoulder Helvig cannot resist bringing home a truly unique prize: a genuine witch. Drawn irresistibly into the other womans web Helvig soon learns of Gerdas reason for walking the icy border roads alone: to find the Queen who lives at the top of the world and kill her. Anyone else would be smart enough not to believe a childrens story but Helvig is plagued by enchantments of her own and struggles to guard the sins of her past while growing closer to the other woman. As Christmastide gives way to the thin-veiled days when ghosts are at their most vengeful the two women will find themselves on a journey through forest and Samiland to a final confrontation that will either redeem them or destroy them entirely. It's Deathless meets Of Fire and Stars in this coming-of-age fable!
