A retelling of the myth by Judith French.
A mysterious Dutchman is condemned to sail the seas for eternity unless he can find a woman who loves him enough to die for him. But how do you prove that a lover would give their soul to save yours? In the short, dark days of a Norwegian winter, this timeless tale explores the power of love and the strength of evil.
