His eyes catch mine in the reflection of the still waters. He has stopped chasing me and is out of breath. When I turn my head I see Gustav standing by the lake’s edge. I’ve never seen a bear this big and majestic, ordinary creatures in this part of the forest are rare. In the distance I see a big bear standing tall on the other side of the lake. It’s nearly dawn, and there is no sun in sight, only a pearl-gray sky hanging above me. If there’s one I hope it doesn’t drown me. On second thoughts I don’t know what lives in these waters, a Nøkken could be in hiding in the lake, but it’s too late now. Silently I take off my T-shirt, jeans and the only pair of leather boots I own, and dive into the cold lake. Strident steps close in on me, crushing the leaves on the damp earth. THE FAMILIAR SMELL of moist pine wafts through the air as I move rapidly through the wilderness. She does her best to keep her love a secret, and when Nora learns she is blessed with special powers by the Norse gods to unlock the Shadowislands, the stakes are higher than ever to claim the heavenly kingdom and crown.
The battle for the Shadowislands stands between the Jarl and the Rognvald, a group of Dark Raiders led by Frederick Dahl, whom Nora can’t help but fall in love with. Her mission? Merely to win the perilous battle for Shadowislands and avoid falling in love with the charming boy who just happens to be her worst enemy-and she’s not quite sure which task is more difficult… But at sixteen years old, the skilled young warrior joins an Elite band of Raiders called Jarl.
Her post-apocalyptic world, the Triangle of Peace, is the only home she’s ever known. Nora Hunt has just joined the deadly quest to discover the ancient Viking legend of the hidden Shadowislands.
