Dual POV
An unforgettable love story set in the frozen landscapes of Norway, where running away can become the first step toward belonging.
Synnøve is a young woman with a troubled past and no place to call home. For her, survival means never staying too long in the same place or getting close to people. She carries almost nothing with her, except a jar of colorful buttons she has been filling since childhood.
When she meets Levi, a guide in Tromsø who leads tourists in search of the northern lights, two wounded lives unexpectedly intersect. When Levi sees Synnøve, he cannot help but help her. Perhaps he is drawn to the scar on her face, which does nothing to diminish her icy beauty. Perhaps he is drawn to her constant escape, which reminds him of his own past and the true identity he tries to deny. Both are running from something, and both long for a place where they can finally breathe and belong.
As their fragile bond grows, they are forced to face what they have been fleeing from. Against the harsh beauty of the Arctic winter, Figures from a buried past begin knocking at their door, threatening the fragile, unexpected bond they are building. The obstacles ahead will be great, but they will discover they are capable of anything now that they have each other.
An encounter that becomes a journey toward trust, courage, and the possibility of starting over.
