Zaun sees the world through the crack in her skull. As a former soldier, she's survived the impossible, only to record Metis' last days in the journals her mother left behind. Lost to her head-trauma, Zaun paints the world as a scattered series of observations, disconnected from the past she doesn't remember. But before Metis can give itself over to the gods' anger, something stirs on the horizon.
Shadows take form before Zaun's eyes and a wolf stalks the streets, pushing her towards the unknowable, the unmeltable.

Bitfrost is a story told through the journals of Zaun, a woman with a traumatic brain injury. Slow-paced and character-driven, this novel features alternately meddling and useless gods, magic derived from fish guts, and lesbian romance.
