Text below is from back of the book.

A young boy vanishes in the fjords of North Iceland. Two decades later, a cryptic poem lands on the desk of his twin sister Brynja Palsdóttir, a forensic DNA scientist. Her brother’s alive…or is he? The answer lies buried in a medieval manuscript of Icelandic sagas. Not her usual resource for cracking cold cases. As Brynja unravels the clues, more poems arrive, each now with dire consequences for those who receive them. Fighting the visual auras that have plagued her since childhood and now threaten her career and engagement to the prime minister, Brynja must summon the strength to navigate the twisted labyrinth of the poet’s mind and confront the dark secret buried in her family’s past.


“A riveting mystery tale with a compelling lead character.” -Kirkus Reviews
