Finland, 1910: Fifteen-year-old Sig is shocked to see a hole in the
frozen lake outside his family's cabin and to find his father's corpse
nearby. Why did Einar steer his dog sled across the lake instead of
taking the safer land route? Sig's sister and stepmother go for help,
leaving Sig alone with Einar's body in the cabin. Soon after, an armed
stranger barges in, demanding a share of Einar's stolen gold. |

Seven stories of passion and love separated by centuries but
mysteriously intertwined--this is a tale of horror and beauty,
tenderness and sacrifice. An archaeologist who unearths a mysterious
artifact, an airman who finds himself far from home, a painter, a ghost,
a vampire, and a Viking: the seven stories in this compelling
novel;all take place on the remote Scandinavian island of Blessed
where a curiously powerful plant that resembles a dragon grows. What
binds these stories together? What secrets lurk beneath the surface of
this idyllic countryside? And what might be powerful enough to break the
cycle of midwinterblood? |
