Description
At midsummer and midnight, in the endless white night of the far north, a young slave and hunter named Malyuta holds his first newborn son. He names the baby Ambrosi, meaning immortal, but their happiness is short-lived as Kuzma, a shape-shifting bear-shaman, demands the child from him.
The shaman's words foretell a life of turmoil for Ambrosi, who grows into a beautiful and bright boy despite his father's efforts to shield him. As Malyuta's beloved wife dies, he finds comfort in his son, but their happiness is threatened by the villagers' fear of Ambrosi's uncanny nature.
As Ambrosi shares his father's life and learns to be a hunter, he dreams of a white bear that calls on him to follow his true nature. With Kuzma's words echoing in his mind, Ambrosi must come to terms with his destiny as a world-walker and the child of the Iron Ash.
