In the shadow of the northern mountains, winter keeps its secrets-until blood stains the snow.
Sweden, 1868. Hunger grips the remote settlements at the edge of the wild. When settler Anders Persson is found murdered in the snow and a young S mi boy later surfaces beneath the river ice, an already fragile coexistence threatens to shatter. Suspicion spreads like frost, and every path-whether trodden by settler or S mi-seems to lead deeper into fear.
Sheriff Lars Engstr m arrives to untangle the truth, but in a land where law is ink and survival is instinct, justice is not easily written. Nils Arvidsson, a quiet settler burdened by grief, and ile, a young S mi woman caught between loss and loyalty, find themselves on opposite sides of a wound that is older than either of them. As the mountain's ore draws dangerous attention and winter refuses to loosen its grip, both peoples must confront a brutal question: How much is a life worth when land, hunger, and pride all demand their share?
Shadow Over the Wide Lands is a gripping, atmospheric historical drama about survival, injustice, and the fragile hope that can grow between divided peoples. In a world carved by snow and silence, every choice leaves a mark-and nothing stays buried forever.
