Mizora

The whaling ship is gone, its crew has deserted her, and a Russian princess in reindeer furs is alone in the Arctic. Vera Zarovitch has escaped a life sentence in Siberia, only to find herself stranded among the ice.

Mary E. Bradley Lane’s 1880s tale begins with a woman driven from Russia by her sympathy for Poland and her outspoken defiance of the government. A shipwreck carries Vera farther from her husband and child; now, with no crew and only the hope of rescue, she must learn to endure the Arctic wilderness. Yet Vera insists her ordeal has led to a discovery worth telling—not for her own sake, but for the future of humanity. What could she have found that makes survival only the beginning?
