In this fantasy adventure set in 1700s Norway perfect for fans of Netflixâs Hilda and Rick Riordanâs 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 sisterâand a girl falls to earth right in front of her. But itâs not Lisbet. This girlâs 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 doesnât know what to believeâbut if she takes Torin to the witchâs mountain, maybe she can get Lisbet back. They set off, joined by Espen, an annoying (but surprisingly helpful) boy from Madsiâs village.
Madsi has never thought of herself as brave, but as they endure the wilds and face monsters sheâs only heard about in tales, she finds unexpected strength. Can she also find the truth of what happened to her sister?
