In this “vivid and compelling tale” (Kirkus Reviews), a series of accidents and a discovery in a medieval church suddenly change Runa’s carefree summer on a Swedish island into three tense days as she finds her life caught up in the rites of her Viking ancestors and subject to the implacable will of ancient Norse gods.
