On Christmas Eve 1617, a storm strikes the Norwegian island of Vardø, where all the men of a small village die at sea. From that moment on, the island becomes a place of women, including Maren, who must face the loss of her father, brother, and fiancé. The women try to move forward, but the authorities soon find out. Eighteen months later, a sinister figure arrives on the island from Scotland to put an end to the women's government: Commissioner Absalom Cornet, accompanied by his young wife, Ursa, who sees in Maren an independent woman. A relationship emerges between them that will change everything. However, for Absalom, Vardø is home to a dark evil that must be eradicated. Written with delicacy and lyricism, Vardø is an atmospheric novel about love, evil, and the power of women at a crucial moment.
