The people of the Jarlshold have a new Jarl, who has taken rulership by force, but it is his wife Gudrun, a sorceress from beyond the edge of the world, that holds them all in sway. \n In her attempts to secure her power she forces her husband to slay or send away all remaining relatives of the rightful noble line the Wulfings, including protagonists Jessa Horolfdaughter and Thorkil Harraldson. Exiled to the frozen north, they expect to die - not to find the one person who could destroy Gudrun forever and return the Wulfings to their throne.

The ''Snow-Walker'' trilogy by Catherine Fisher consists of ''The Snow-Walker's Son'', ''The Empty Hand'', and ''The Soul Thieves''. Set in the GrimUpNorth, the books are a classic HeroicFantasy and make many [[ShoutOut Shout-Outs]] to the ''[[Literature/PoeticEdda Eddas]]'' from which the story takes inspiration.
The people of the Jarlshold have a new Jarl, who has taken rulership by force, but it is his wife Gudrun, a sorceress from beyond the edge of the world, that holds them all in sway.

!!''Snow-Walker'' provides examples of:
* AbusiveParents: Gudrun, and how.
* CultureChopSuey: The culture of the Jarlshold and surrounding lands is mainly Norse with a little Finnish and British thrown in. The scraeling woman is also shown as more Finnish-y than Inuit.
* FlatWorld: At least in one direction. Going north does not lead to the pole, as expected, but to the emptiness of Ginnungagap.
* HornyVikings
* IAmXSonOfY: As to be expected, all characters are referred to with patronymics.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: They are created by sorcery and cannot be transmitted one person to another. Also, anyone who is a werewolf grows gradually more wolfish the more times they turn.
