The lives of two women-one desperate only to save her missing sister, the other a witch destined to become queen of Norway-intertwine in this spellbinding, powerful novel of Viking Age history and myth from the acclaimed author of The Witch's Heart.
Oddny and Gunnhild meet as children in tenth century Norway, and they could not be more different: Oddny hopes for a quiet life, while Gunnhild burns for power and longs to escape her cruel mother. But after a visiting wisewoman makes an ominous prophecy that involves Oddny, her sister Signy, and Gunnhild, the three girls take a blood oath to help one another always.
When Oddny's farm is destroyed and Signy is kidnapped by Viking raiders, Oddny is set adrift from the life she imagined-but she's determined to save her sister no matter the cost, even as she finds herself irresistibly drawn to one of the raiders who participated in the attack. And in the far north, Gunnhild, who fled her home years ago to learn the ways of a witch, is surprised to find her destiny seems to be linked with that of the formidable King Eirik, heir apparent to the ruler of all Norway.
But the bonds-both enchanted and emotional-that hold the two women together are strong, and when they find their way back to each other, these bonds will be tested in ways they never could have foreseen in this deeply moving novel of magic, history, and sworn sisterhood.

When a woman is found dead in her car in a Norwegian parking garage, everyone suspects an overdose. . .until a forensics report indicates that she was murdered. Oslo Detectives Frølich and Gunnarstranda discover that the victim's Kenyan scientist boyfriend has disappeared, and their investigations soon lead them into the shady world of international pharmaceutical deals. While Gunnarstranda closes in on the killers in Norway, Frølich and Lise, his new journalist ally, travel to Africa, where they make a series of shocking discoveries about exploitation and corruption in the distribution of foreign aid and essential HIV medications. When tragedy unexpectedly strikes, all three investigators face incalculable danger, spanning two continents. And not everyone will make it out alive. . .
It was a black day in the history of the Ice People. Tengel the Evil and his right-hand man, the gruesome Lynx, had gathered all their forces against the Ice People and their helpers.
And Tengel's evil minions were many: mercenaries, war criminals, seductive witches and armoured horsemen whom it seemed impossible to defeat ...
Marco was one of the five members of the Ice People who had been specially chosen for the struggle against Tengel the Evil. Marco was the enigmatic helper, who was so strong that the others didn't know his true capacity.
Now he had been given an almost impossible task, which was to destroy the cruel Lynx, Tengel's closest associate. And he had to do so without using his strongest weapon ...
The Ice People's long and perilous battle against Tengel the Evil was over. Tan-ghil, the scourge and terror of the world, was gone forever.
Despite that, there was no knowing what would happen in the future. Many questions remained to be answered, and the Ice People had exciting years ahead ...
Nataniel had been chosen to lead the struggle against the Ice People's evil ancestor. His closest allies were Tova Brink and Ellen Skogsrud. If Tengel the Evil was to be defeated, then all efforts had to be concentrated on it.
This was why all the members of the Ice People were gathered at the Demon's Mountain, where much was to be revealed, for better or for worse ...
Following their secret meeting in the Demon's Mountain, the Ice People realized that their struggle against Tengel the Evil would be far more dangerous and difficult that anybody had fathomed. Five members of the Ice People left for Trøndelag and the secret Valley of the Ice People – only to discover that Tengel the Evil had a whole gang chasing them.
The battle against Tengel the Evil had evolved into a life-and-death race, in which everything depended on being the first to reach the Valley of the Ice People. The Ice People had able helpers, but Tengel's forces were incredibly powerful and, not least, merciless.
In the midst of the struggle, the ill-starred Tova experienced the first and perhaps only romance of her life with the mortally ill Irishman Ian Morahan ...
On an icy cold day in January 1937, death came to Halden, literally, as a stowaway on board a ship from Rotterdam. Among the many whose lives were at stake was the self-effacing and cowed Vinnie Dahlen.
Rikard Brink of the Ice People, who was a policeman, was given the task of curbing the catastrophe. In order to do so, he first had to win the confidence of the timid Vinnie ...
Christa Lind had been chosen to give birth to the exceptional child of the Ice People who was destined to take up the fight against Tengel the Evil himself. Christa's stepfather wanted her to marry the widower Abel, a good Christian. But he was twice as old as Christa and already had seven sons. She much preferred Linde-Lou, the poor son of a smallholder, who had an irresistible sense of mystery about him …
The Legend of the Ice People series has already captivated over 45 million readers across the world.
The story of the Ice People is a moving legend of love and supernatural powers
Karine Volden was brutally raped twice as a child. Although she somehow managed to repress these horrible events, she became increasingly introvert and afraid of other people.
During the war she was assaulted once more, and reacted with great violence. Worst of all, she felt that it was her fault that her brother, Jonathan, had been sent to a concentration camp in Germany ...
Nataniel Gard of the Ice People was the seventh son of a seventh son and had been chosen to lead the final battle against Tengel the Evil. But he was not yet ready for that great task; he first needed to develop his skills on other challenging assignments.
Ellen Knutsen had endured some frightening and mysterious experiences, and she herself was something of a mystery. It turned out that the two had more in common than Nataniel could have imagined when they first met.
