      About This Book

      In the space-faring future, it is always winter in thelumipaikka (snowland) of the planet Jaspre. Here, a colony of Finns have adopted ancient practices in order to survive. Old myths again have relevance as the artificial satellite, Argus, transforms the snow plain into a palette of dazzling colors and gifts the snow-dwellers with unusual powers. A Kalevala singer, a teacher and a healer, among others, must reconcile the old ways with the new.
