    Summary:

    Absalom Cornet comes to the tiny Arctic town of Vardø from Scotland, where he burned witches in the northern isles. He brings with him his young Norwegian wife, Ursa, who sees something she has never seen before: independent women. But Absalom sees only a place untouched by God, and flooded with a mighty evil.
