"The long war is over, and Ingrid Barrøy, who we first met as a child herself in The Unseen, leaves the island that bears her name to search for the father of her daughter. Alexander, the Russian captive who survived the sinking of prisoner ship the Rigel and found himself in Ingrid's arms in White Shadow, attempted to cross the mountains to Sweden, and now Ingrid follows in his footsteps, carrying their child in her arms, the girl's dark eyes the only proof that she ever knew him. Along the way, Ingrid encounters collaborators and partisans, refugees and deserters, sinners and slaves in a country that still bears the scars of defeat and occupation--and before her journey's end, she'll be forced to ask herself how well she knows the man she is risking everything to find."-- Provided by publisher.
