First Comes Summer
The spellbinding story of a young woman s dangerous passion as it plays out over the course of an eerie summerIn their remote Viking settlement, Folkvíand her brother, Áslakr, have always been close unnaturally close. Then illness carries off their parents, and the nest of home is shattered. They ve grown more intimate still as Folkví learns her shaman mother s craft, as men regard her with newly devouring eyes.
When he returns, he s done the unthinkable: He s found someone else to love. Áslakr sets off on his first expedition, abandoning Folkví to the dark of an endless winter. Sick with grief, Folkví rages to the gods where they sit at the foot of an ancient tree, contemplating the twisted passions of humans that play out in the face of an ever-approaching end of days.
Will none of them save her now? Very well, Folkví will save herself. The wedding date is set.
But first comes a fateful summer. . . Deeply unsettling and brilliantly imagined, First Comes Summer captures the terror of losing the world you ve always known and the uncanny extremes to which you might go to hold on to it.
