Islands have something magical about them. This is also experienced by the bookseller couple Svea and Daniel when they arrive at the small Baltic Sea harbor. They encounter a close-knit community. The taciturn fishermen, the exceptionally talented young dancer and his wild little sister, the veterinarian, and the elderly photographer, the intellectual from the big city - despite their differences, they are all connected in a special way. But what role does the eerie stranger with his raven play? As summer slowly bids farewell and the island begins to prepare for autumn, islanders and newcomers suddenly have to prove themselves together - in a storm where everything is at stake. A novel about an island in the late summer light, about people caught between new beginnings and farewells.
