A rich young woman incapable of living by the conventions of society. Neither is prepared for the journey into the heat  mystery  violence and disorienting perpetual daylight of the far North.  Stockholm 1856.  Magnus is a geologist. When the Minister sends him to survey the distant but strategically vital Lapland region around Blackasen Mountain  it is a perfect cover for another mission: Magnus must investigate why one of the nomadic Sami people  native to the region  has apparently slaughtered in cold blood a priest  a law officer and a settler in their rectory.  Is there some bigger threat afoot? Blackasen seems to be a place of many secrets. But the Minister has more than a professional tie to Magnus  and at the last moment  he adds another responsibility. Disgusted by the wayward behaviour of his daughter Lovisa - Magnuss sister-in law - the Minister demands that Magnus take her with him on his arduous journey.  Thus the two unlikely companions must venture out of the sophisticated city  up the coast and across country  to the rough-hewn religion and politics of the settler communities  the mystical  pre-Christian ways of the people who have always lived on this land  and the strange  compelling light of the midnight sun. For Lovisa and Magnus  nothing can ever be the same again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45275416756277,"sku":"ByrdShop_1444789937","price":98.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781444789935.jpg?v=1780506394","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/in-the-month-of-the-midnight-sun-9781444789935","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
