Silje Arngrimsdatter var bare sytten da pesten drepte alle slektningene hennes i 1581. Utsultet og forfrossen, og med to foreldreløse småbarn å ta hånd om, nærmet hun seg likbålene utenfor Trondhjem for å få litt varme i kroppen. Underlig nok var det bare èn som hjalp Silje i nødens stund - en mann av Isfolkets ætt som Silje fant dyrisk og skremmende - og underlig tiltrekkende på samme tid.... 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.
