**The End of Drum Time by Hanna Pylväinen**

**An epic love story in the vein of *Cold Mountain* and *The Great Circle*, about a young reindeer herder and a minister’s daughter in the 19th century Arctic Circle.**

In 1851, at a remote village in the Scandinavian tundra, a Lutheran minister known as Mad Lasse tries in vain to convert the native Sámi reindeer herders to his faith. But when one of the most respected herders has a dramatic awakening and dedicates his life to the church, his impetuous son, Ivvár, is left to guard their diminishing herd alone. By chance, he meets Mad Lasse’s daughter Willa, and their blossoming infatuation grows into something that ultimately crosses borders—of cultures, of beliefs, and of political divides—as Willa follows the herders on their arduous annual migration north to the sea.

Gorgeously written and sweeping in scope, *The End of Drum-Time* immerses readers in a world lit by the northern lights, steeped in age-old rituals, and guided by passions that transcend place and time.
