“An eerie novel that will keep you up late into the night . . . Margrét Ann Thors beautifully evokes Iceland, with its cold winds, wave-battered cliffs, and mysterious folk tales. Gripping and heartfelt.”—Eowyn Ivey, New York Times bestselling author of The Snow Child and Black Woods, Blue Sky
“In haunting, razor-sharp prose, Thors conjures a vivid portrait of motherhood and myth, testing just how far the ties that bind us to our families, our histories, and our cultures can be stretched until they snap . . . Freyja will chill you to the bone, and have you grasping in the cold, dark night for a guiding hand—though you probably shouldn't trust whatever reaches for you, all the same.”—Melissa Larsen, USA Today bestselling author of The Lost House
The unsolved case of a young girl’s disappearance reopens after twenty years in this moody, atmospheric debut of suspense set in Reykjavík and the Icelandic coast.
