The already celebrated international bestselling series The Legend of the Ice People by Margit Sandemo is to be published in the English language for the first time.

Margit Sandemo - The Legend of the Ice People - Book 1: Spellbound
“There was nobody to be seen. She shivered now that she had left the warmth of the hut. She raised her head to look around. The blood drained from her face, her heart froze. ‘Oh dear God NO!’ she groaned…‘The Land of the Shadows…”
Silje’s life is turned upside down in the events of the 1581 plague that has gripped her village and wiped out her family and she is forced to flee in search of safety. On route she finds companions in two abandoned children whom she must protect, but where will Silje lead them? And who will they encounter on their journey towards the mountains she has feared all her life?
