Book description
Ingrid Lotfield was a good woman, doing right by her parents,
protecting her sensitive sister, and reliably completing her fair
share of the chores necessary for life in their fishing village in
1872, on the cold shore of Lake Superior. Then Avan came. He said he
was Norwegian, as many of the fisherman were. He was different - kind
and quiet and strong-and one day he somehow miraculously helped to
save her sister form a terrible fate in a watery grave.
She knew
Avan was from a far land, knew he loved her. They would be married,
have children . . . be fisherfolk as had generations before them.
But before they could wed, he was called back to the land of his
birth, a land beyond the shore of Superior, beyond Earth, a magical
land where he was more than a fisherman. He had to go. He wouldn't see
her hurt, and there were untold forces in his homeland, Isavalta, that
could harm her beyond her wildest imaginings. But her love was too
strong for him to resist. She would go with him, no matter the risks.
So brave, so dear. Together they would face danger and excitement: to
save an empire and its empress, and find their own fate, no matter
what peril, mo matter how strange.
