Romance
Fox Østmo (25), a Norwegian actor of Sámi descent, on the cusp of the big time, and Ellie Maddox (36), a married British PR professional, meet at an Inclusion & Diversity event organised by Ellie's company. He's handsome, intelligent, funny, ubercool and Norway's latest heartthrob. Thrust into the limelight overnight, Fox is a complicated young man. While proud of his Sámi heritage, he struggles to uphold and publicise his culture, language and traditions when everyone around him tries to make him abandon it. Including his beautiful pop star girlfriend. Ellie is well-educated, responsible and the best in her field. She is the sophisticated city girl who plays by the rules. In tune with nature, an eco-warrior and fighter for indigenous rights, Fox dislikes Ellie on sight. She's everything he hates about the corporate, 'colonial' world slowly taking over his beloved Sápmi. A strange and unlikely friendship develops between them when Fox is asked to host Ellie for a year to film a documentary about the Sámi people. As Ellie is left for dead in the middle of the frozen Finnmark tundra after a brutal attack, Fox begins to wonder if uncle Ailo's old Sámi beliefs really are 'just mythology' and a spark is kindled between these two people who couldn't be more unsuitable for each other if they tried. Fox and Ellie have the power to make each other incredibly happy or completely break each other. To save an oppressed indigenous culture or to let it slide into oblivion. Against the stunningly beautiful backdrop of Sápmi nature, from culture clashes and social prejudice to well (and not-so-well) meaning family and friends, everything stands between Fox Østmo and the woman he loves. But do the ancient Sámi 'spirits in the sky' have a different plan for them? WARNING: The Prologue published contains strong language, swearing, some descriptions of violence and implied rape. This is not characteristic of the book.

It's about Ellie Collin, an 18-year-old raised by human parents, has always felt a subtle disconnect from the world around her. On the surface, her life is ordinary, filled with the typical challenges of a young adult. However, as she delves deeper into her own history, a staggering revelation awaits her: magic is real, and she is part of this hidden realm. As Ellie's understanding of magic grows, so does her realization that she is not merely an observer but an integral piece of this mystical puzzle. Her journey of self-discovery is fraught with danger, as mysterious nightmares that began on her 18th birthday haunt her, hinting at a dark force that seeks to claim her newfound powers. With each passing day, Ellie learns more about her true heritage and the magical world she belongs to-a world where enchantments weave through the fabric of reality and ancient secrets lie waiting to be uncovered. Yet, the question remains: why is she being targeted, and what is the significance of the whispers that echo in her dreams? Ellie must navigate this enchanting yet perilous landscape, seeking allies and mastering her abilities to protect herself. In doing so, she will confront the shadows of her past and embrace her destiny in a world beyond imagination. The line between dreams and reality blurs as Ellie stands at the threshold of a life-changing adventure, one where she will either rise as a guardian of magic or fall to the nightmares that pursue her.
