At the End of the Rainbow

Bergen, 1894. Helena Frost Beyer, the eldest of the Frost siblings, was born and raised in the fishing village of Molvær in the Lofoten Islands. Now the wife of a prominent shipowner, she lives in one of Bergen's grandest homes, surrounded by wealth and influential people, seemingly enjoying the perfect life with her husband, Martin. But behind the glittering façade lie heartbreak and quiet despair. All Helena longs for is a child, and with every passing month of disappointment, she and Martin drift further apart.

When Helena meets the controversial and charismatic women's rights campaigner Betty Jordan, she is drawn into a circle willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make their voices heard. But what is Betty really fighting for? And who is the enigmatic Gard?

Across the bay, Brita and Aslak have just begun their life together. Newly married and expecting their first child, they are overjoyed when Aslak secures work at the Beyer shipyard. But their happiness is shattered when a devastating accident strikes the yard. As Shipowner Beyer searches for someone to hold responsible, the destinies of Helena and Brita become irrevocably entwined.
