An ancient blood awakens in the heart of winter.

1931.

Twelve-year-old Max's life in Bergen disappears in a single night of violence. Separated from his family and taken by his enigmatic grandfather into the frozen forests of Nordland, he is subjected to a brutal education with one purpose: survival.

Max soon discovers that what he has inherited is far more dangerous than he imagined. The natural world seems to respond to him in ways he cannot explain, while an enemy connected to his family's past draws ever closer.

Elsewhere in Scandinavia, Eline is discovering secrets of her own. The stories her mother once told her are beginning to feel less like legends, and the disappearance of her family forces her to confront an inheritance she barely understands.

As their paths unfold, both discover that the violence pursuing them belongs to a conflict far older than themselves.

Europe is moving toward darkness. And beneath the snow, something ancient is awakening with it.

The Wolf and the Snow is a story of survival, family, identity and inherited conflict set against the frozen landscapes of Scandinavia on the eve of one of Europe's darkest eras.
