"A gorgeous, strange, dark-edged novel of animal impulses and violent passions; of men at their very worst and their very best. Idealistic, misguided Morten Falck is a newly ordained priest sailing to Greenland in 1787 to convert the Inuit to the Danish church. The rugged outpost is overshadowed by the threat of dissent; natives have united to reject Danish rule. As Falck becomes involved with those in his care, his faith and reputation are dangerously called into question."
