1. Spellbound
Winter 1581: a deadly plague outbreak robs sixteen-year old peasant girl Silje of all her family. Homeless, starving and shepherding two foundling infants, she stumbles through the corpse-strewn streets of Trondheim on Norway’s northern coast.
Heading desperately for the warmth of the mass funeral pyres blazing beyond the city gates, she encounters in the shadowy forest one of the infamous Ice People, a fearsome, strangely captivating ‘wolf man’. He offers help — and she feels irresistibly drawn to him. But what is the terrible fascination? And where will it lead?
Spellbound, the opening volume in The Legend of the Ice People, begins a journey that spans four centuries and interweaves romance and the supernatural in narratives that are passionate, earthy, often erotic and imbued above all else with a powerful narrative drive.
2. Witch-Hunt
Summer 1586: Silje, the courageous sixteen-year-old peasant girl orphaned by the Trondheim plague in the opening Ice People Novel, Spellbound, has just come of age in this sequel Witch-hunt. Having fled for her life with her adored ‘wolf-man’ Tengel and two children she rescued from the plague, she is struggling at 21 to come to terms with the harchness of life among witches and warlocks in the high mountain valley of the mysterious Ice People.
Silje has bravely borne Tengel their first child, a daughter Liv. But their life of austere poverty is shattered when savage, witch-hunting troops invade the remote valley to slaughter all its feared inhabitants. Warned in time, Silje, Tengel and the three children flee from the carnage to the lowlands … But are they unknowingly carrying with them to the rest of Europe the accursed heritage of the Ice People?
4. The Successor
Yrja Mattiasdatter is heavy, unshapely and disfigured from sickness. Because she is so unattractive, she is nicknamed The Thistle. But there is something else that burdens her as well: She is deeply and madly in love with the rich and charming Tarald, the son of Baron Dag Meiden and Liv of the Ice People. But Tarald has only eyes for his beautiful cousin, Sunniva. However, because of the evil legacy of the Ice People, a union between the two of them can be fateful …
At the time, Norway is ravaged by the plague. Meanwhile, Tarald’s sister, Cecilie, is in Denmark where she is nanny to King Christian IV’s children with Kirsten Munk. Cecilie is drawn to the interesting Margrave Alexander Paladin but she holds no attraction for him.
5. Friendship
This is Europe in 1625. The Thirty Years’ War is raging and many of the young men among the Ice People are also involved in it. Tengel’s granddaughter, Cecilie Meiden, is still employed as a nanny and governess at the Court of Denmark’s King Christian IV. His children, especially his favourite daughters, Anna Katrine and Leonora Christina, keep Cecilie on her toes while the King goes to war. But Cecilie has got herself into trouble. She is pregnant with a married man, who happens to be a vicar.
Her good friend, Alexander Paladin, is also in very great trouble. Rumours have it that he has committed an unforgiveable sin, which usually leads to the death penalty.
6. Evil Legacy
Tarjei Lind of the Ice People had promised his grandfather Tengel that he would find a worthy heir to their secret recipes. Tarjei decides to give all of this – plants, herbs, potions and recipes – to Mattias, Kolgrim’s half-brother. When this reaches Kolgrim’s ears one summer’s day in 1633, his evil mind flares up in appalling violence.
Cecilie and Alexander Paladin’s daughter, Gabriella was born and bred in Denmark together with her twin brother, Tancred. A degrading event forces Gabriella to visit her relatives in Norway and her stay there is of great significance to the entire kin.
