Never-ending winter has reduced Asa Coppermane's proud Viking clan to a pitiful, starving shadow of its former self. Headstrong chieftain's daughter Asa must fight vile Jorgen for control of the clan. Only through a shocking sacrifice can she save her people and herself. The historical setting and grim premise are intriguing, but some lackluster storytelling slows the plot.
