Theyve grown more intimate still as Folkví learns her shaman mothers craft, as men regard her with newly devouring eyes. Then illness carries off their parents, and the nest of home is shattered. Áslakr sets off on his first expedition, abandoning Folkví to the dark of an endless winter. When he returns, hes done the unthinkable: Hes found someone else to love. Sick with grief, Folkví 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.

Deeply unsettling and brilliantly imagined, First Comes Summer captures the terror of losing the world youve always knownand the uncanny extremes to which you might go to hold on to it.
