Emily Rath: North Is The Night, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

With the dark, mythical magic of the Winternight trilogy, and the slow-burn romance of Spinning Silver, NORTH IS THE NIGHT is a feminist fantasy adventure that shows the power of female friendship and how love - both romantic and familial - can conquer even death itself.
In the harsh Finnish wilderness, best friends Aina and Siiri are inseparable despite their opposite natures: Aina is gentle and cautious while Siiri is headstrong and brave. But their friendship is put to the test when Aina is kidnapped by a death goddess and taken to the mythical underworld Tuonela.

Determined to save her friend, Siiri embarks on a dangerous quest north to seek the only human who has ever travelled to Tuonela and returned, the shaman Väinämöinen. But finding him is only the beginning. Siiri must then convince him to teach her his magic so she can rescue Aina.

In Tuonela, Aina is held captive with several other mortal girls . . . and the king of the underworld himself. All are being forced to play the sadistic games of the cruel goddesses of death, and it's soon clear that no one will survive. It's up to Aina to make an extraordinary sacrifice. One that may bind her to Tuonela forever.
Bestselling author Emily Rath expertly weaves Finnish mythology with fantasy adventure in a spellbinding tale of two women who defy the gods themselves to save each other.
