Threads of the Long Winter

About this book

In the remote 1890s Arctic outpost of Isfjell, nineteen-year-old Eira Nansen works tirelessly as a seamstress to support her younger brother and pay off their late father's crushing debts. Her quiet, marginalized life is upended when Thaddeus Winslow, a disgraced cartographer, returns to the frozen town seeking redemption after a disastrous prior expedition. When Thaddeus commissions Eira to design specialized survival gear for his final attempt to map the treacherous Northern Reach, the two underdogs form a tentative bond. As they navigate the harsh elements, the town's deep-seated prejudices, and the active sabotage of a rival merchant family, Eira and Thaddeus must learn to forgive their pasts. Woven with multiple perspectives, the story follows Eira's fight for independence, Thaddeus's quest for redemption, her brother's perilous search for identity, and a rival's awakening, culminating in a daring rescue on the treacherous sea ice that changes all their lives forever.
