❝ My cheeks heat with a blush. I grasp the handle of my backpack even tighter, hoping my sweaty palm won't slip. "Guess I better go." But I can't move, too busy reveling the fact that the toe of his his hiking boot is touching my right foot. Then, miracles of miracles, he touches my elbow. ❞

The Word of Trolls is a fantasy series, broken into three parts, that draws its inspiration from the Norse folklores, with trolls, draugs, the hulder and the northern lights all playing their vital part. It is a story that explores human's close relation with nature, setting them up as two opposing forces. Which side will win in the end? At the centre of the world stands the enormous mountain Várri, the only true mountain in the land, and said to be the Trolls' final resting place. For centuries, a hulder, a woman with a tail, has preserved the balance in nature, but one day a boy of 17 finds a hidden tunnel that leads to this woman. The woman claims he has the gift to give life to baby trolls. He is appalled by the idea, yet soon becomes a father to a baby troll. On top of Várri, in Snowfall, the Kvínnús chooses their men, and the tribe is led by a Trollkvínnú (spiritual leader). Trollkvínnús has the ability to see the future within the northern lights. Kvínnú Áila (15), a strong-willed girl, is at 16 destined to become the tribe's next Trollkvínnú, after her mother. The king of the lands below the mountain however, wants her as the land's princess. Stolen at birth, Tiril Stone (17) was brought to Cod Tongue by her uncle. All her life she has breathed fog and had difficulties finding balance on land. Life on the small fishing island is brutal. Tiril is forced to take up the oars in order to pay for her family's debt. Out at sea, she realises she can attract fish by touching the water, but using her abilities also builds up a storm. She comes close to drowning but is saved by a draug, sailing in his half-boat.
