Journeying with a band of Viking warriors, an Arab courtier encounters unspeakable horrors in this epic tale from the bestselling author of Jurassic Park.
In 922 A.D., the elegant courtier Ahmad Ibn Fadlan accompanies a party of Viking warriors back to their home. He is appalled by their customs--the gratuitous sexuality of their women, their disregard for cleanliness, and their cold-blooded sacrifices. Yet he follows this clan, led by the fierce chieftain Buliwyf, to the frozen terrain of the North, where the day's length is no match for the night's and where the sky burns with streaks of color after dark. In this forbidding landscape, Ibn Fadlan will learn the truth of what his inscrutable hosts have planned for him as he begins to witness the terrors that plague them--vicious monsters of the mist who emerge under cover of night, seeking human flesh . .
