Using Lavender's unique ability to see life and death, she and Marigold attempt to stay within the narrow margins of survival. Their journey sweeps through Svalbard, Jan Mayen Island, Thule (Greenland), and the Siberian peninsula. Ancient Canada is a mythological world that may be unlike anything you've read in a thousand years.
