From Icelandic author Sigridur Hagalin Bjoernsdottir comes a heart-wrenching thriller about a woman' s desperate quest to save the people she loves from a natural disaster. After an eight-hundred-year slumber, the volcanoes in Iceland' s most populated region are showing signs of life. Earthquakes dominate the headlines. Echoes of the devastating eruptions in the past stir unease in the people. Volcanologist Anna Arnardottir has spent her entire life studying the volcanic powers under the earth' s crust, but even she cannot fathom the catastrophe at hand. As a series of eruptions threaten most of Iceland' s population, she' s caught off her rational guard by the most terrible natural disaster of all-love. The world as she knows it is about to fall apart, and so is her heart. Caught between the safety of a nation and her feelings for her children, her lover, and her past, Anna embarks on a dangerous journey to save the lives of the people she loves-and her soul.
Icelandic author Sigridur Hagalin Bjoernsdottir studied history in Reykjavik and Salamanca and journalism at Columbia University in New York. She worked in Copenhagen before moving back to Reykjavik, where she lives with her husband, children, and stepchildren. Her bestselling debut, Island (2016), was nominated for the Icelandic Women' s Literature Prize in 2017. When she isn' t writing, Bjoernsdottir works as a journalist and television news anchor at the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service. Bjoernsdottir' s highly anticipated third novel, The Fires, is a bestseller and viral hit in Iceland.
