Description
Set in England, this is the story of Atli, a lonely Icelandic Canadian man who meets Rose. As their love affair is played out, Atli wonders if it is only his imagination and recurring dreams, or time travel and a past life that connect him to the 8th century Viking invasion of England and the Stanley Mine Disaster of 1909. Atli's relationship with Rose conceals terrible secrets that ultimately unlock the mystery of his own past.
