The tranquility of this Tunit camp has been shaken by a group of murderous, pale, bearded strangers who have arrived on a huge boat shaped like a loon.Unbeknownst to Kannujaq, he has stumbled upon a battle between the Tunit and a group of Viking warriors!As the camp prepares to defend itself against the approaching newcomers, Kannujaq and a Tunit shaman boy named Siku discover that the Vikings may have motivations other than murder and warfare at the heart of their quest.This lush historical fiction is steeped in Inuit traditional knowledge and concepts of ancient Inuit magic.
