border.
in the snow on the wrong side of the Ragna Johansen, the lovely young widow of one of the dead men, must build a new life for herself and her young son. She increasingly turns for guidance to Halvard Starheim, an adviser on her late husband's mission.
In the aftermath of the fatal incident, Hal has retired to the seclusion of his island farm, haunted by the suspicion that the mission was betrayed. As he and Ragna search for answers, accompanied by the playboy journalist Rolf Berg, the three are drawn back into the past, to the brutal years of Nazi Occupation and into the present-day rights movement for the Lapps, an ancient nomadic people whose survival is threatened by modern encroachments.
Against her better judgment, Ragna finds herself attracted to both Hal and Rolf. And it is only in a breathtaking chase through the mountains, in the storms and bitter cold of a wolf win-ter, that Ragna discovers that old loves and loyalties must be put to the test-and that she alone can avenge her husband's death.
