Omtale fra forlaget
The storm comes in like a finger snap . . .
Winter, 1617. The sea around the remote Norwegian island of Vardø is thrown into a vicious storm. A young woman, Maren, watches as the men of the island, out fishing, perish in an instant.
Vardø is now a place of women.
Eighteen months later, a sinister figure arrives. Absalom Cornet has been summoned to bring the women of the island to heel. With him travels his young wife, Ursa. In her new home, and in Maren, Ursa encounters something she has never seen before: independent women. But where Ursa finds happiness, even love, Absalom sees only a place flooded with a terrible evil, one he must root out at all costs.

This is the history of Maren and Ursula, but also a frightful and deadly storm, craving dozens of lives. Lurking in the back is the witch processes in Finnmark around 1620.
Strong women against insane and self proclaimed godly men. Friends and neighbours turn accusing fingers at each other in the name of God.
Frightening, interesting, and highly recommended.
