Chimera — Sarah Stegall

Sophia Abenezra arrives in the Arctic Circle searching for extreme forms of life -- and finds more than she expected. Her Inuit guide Nick Tonarak and his pet wolf guard an ancient family secret, one that will change her view of the world and the universe. Even as they are drawn to one another, an intruder from another world hunts them through the icy waste, seeking to end an ancient war.
