Back cover: Sweden 1432 ... a wolf-winter ... fires burn in the mine pits and in the great hall of the manor .... Lord Ivar sits at table with his lovely wife Donna and Kirt, his neighbor and cousin ... he does not see the fires dance in the meeting of eyes as they lift their wine cups ... Kurt Arnsion, leader of the mountain men, and Lady Donna, unwilling wife of his bitterest enemy ... A love struggling against almost impossible odds in a frozen, implacable world in which black magic still survives and the punishment for adultery is burial alive! But theirs is a passion that knows no surrender and the seeds of ecstasy planed in the season of the flesh must live to blossom ...
