YA
Desperately searching for her missing mother, sixteen-year-old Haley visits Iceland and becomes entangled in an ancient spell that could destroy the world. Each of the disparate characters struggles to accept the circumstances of his or her own life, grounding the fantastical plot. Icelandic sagas and mythologies build a rich framework; the sincerity of the characters' flaws and longings resonates most strongly.
