There are six homesteads on Blackasen Mountain. A day's journey away lies the empty town. It comes to life just once, in winter, when the Church summons her people through the snows. But now it is summer, and new settlers have come. It is their two youngest daughters who find the dead man. Their father is away. And whether stubborn, or stupid, or scared for her girls, their mother will not let it rest. From the wife who's unconcerned when her husband is absent for three days, to the man who laughs when he hears his brother is dead, to the priest who doesn't care, she asks and asks her questions, digging at the secrets of the mountain. They say a wolf made those wounds. But what wild animal cuts a body so clean?
