Description

In this fantasy adventure set in 1700s Norway perfect for fans of Netflixs Hilda and Rick Riordans Magnus Chase series, a girl and her unlikely companions brave the wilds and encounter legendary creatures as they seek to rescue her sister from the Northern Lights.

Madsi has always loved the stories that her clever, strong-willed sister, Lisbet, told her late at night in their cabin. Madsi never expected Lisbet to become one of those tales. But last year, her sister disappeared in the night, snatched away by the Northern Lights.

This year when the Lights appear in the sky, Madsi begs them to free her sisterand a girl falls to earth right in front of her. But its not Lisbet. This girls name is Torin, and she demands that Madsi take her to a witch who can put her back into the Lights, where she went by choice. Madsi doesnt know what to believebut if she takes Torin to the witchs mountain, maybe she can get Lisbet back. They set off, joined by Espen, an annoying (but surprisingly helpful) boy from Madsis village.

Madsi has never thought of herself as brave, but as they endure the wilds and face monsters shes only heard about in tales, she finds unexpected strength. Can she also find the truth of what happened to her sister
