Overview
In their remote Viking settlement, FolkvĆ and her brother, Ćslakr, have always been closeāunnaturally close. Theyāve grown more intimate still as FolkvĆ learns her shaman motherās craft, as men regard her with newly devouring eyes. Then illness carries off their parents, and the nest of home is shattered. Ćslakr sets off on his first expedition, abandoning FolkvĆ to the dark of an endless winter. When he returns, heās done the unthinkable: Heās found someone else to love.
Sick with grief, FolkvĆ rages to the gods where they sit at the foot of an ancient tree, contemplating the twisted passions of humans that play out in the face of an ever-approaching end of days. Will none of them save her now? Very well, FolkvĆ will save herself. The wedding date is set. But first comes a fateful summer. . .Ā
Deeply unsettling and brilliantly imagined, First Comes Summer captures the terror of losing the world youāve always knownāand the uncanny extremes to which you might go to hold on to it.
