About the book: year / Alvdis lives in the northern fjord, cultivates his healing talent and sadly thinks that the leader’s daughter is destined for only one fate - to become the wife of a rich neighbor . Maynard is a Christian monk who chose to renounce all the magical gifts of his God, and as a result became a slave to the northerners. There are no more different people than these two, their worlds and talents differ so much that it seems they cannot be together. But perhaps the gods have only just begun their game with them. And how this game will end is anyone's guess..
