The second volume in the Sister Bells Trilogy follows a new generation bound by an ancient prophecy, a missing tapestry, and a changing world. It is 1903. Twenty-two years have passed since the loss of Astrid Hekne. Her son, Jehans, lives a solitary life on a remote mountain homestead, making his living by fishing and hunting high above the village. One morning, Jehans shoots a massive wild reindeer--and comes face-to-face with a mysterious foreign hunter whose arrival alters his destiny forever. Meanwhile, in Butangen, Pastor Kai Schweigaard remains consumed by guilt over the past. Obsessed with making amends, Kai searches for the long-lost Hekne tapestry, a medieval textile woven by the conjoined sisters that contains a chilling vision of Doomsday. As Europe moves toward the turmoil of the 20th century, Jehans and Kai must confront family secrets, old rivalries, and the dangerous truth of the Hekne legacy.
