Product Description
In the freezing Norwegian winter of 1581 the plague robs seventeen year-old Silje Arngrimsdotter of all her family. Homeless, starving and shepherding two newly-orphaned infants, she heads in desperation for the warmth of the funeral pyres blazing beyond the city gates of corpselittered Trondheim. In the shadowy forest she meets a captivating stranger - Tengel of the infamous Ice People. She has heard of his dark reputation but nevertheless feels an irresistible physical attraction. "Spellbound" sets the reader on an engrossing path through four centuries of the history of the 'Ice People'. Earthy and often erotic, Sandemo's saga is always imbued with a powerful narrative drive.

Excellent reading!,

This review is from: Spellbound (Paperback)
Ever since I was a child, this series has fascinated me. I used to lurk near the bookshelves of the daughter of my nanny when I was very young, and she had the books all along the shelf. She would tell me what it was about and I was captivated! I never had the chance to read the series in Norwegian (they became difficult to get a hold of when I grew up), but now I finally have started on the English release! I am absolutely loving it so far; it is rising and beyond the expectations I've held since a child and I can only warmly recommend this series to anyone else with interest in this type of literature.
Now I just hope they release the rest of the series in English as well.

FINALLY! I couldn't put it down. I finished the whole book in one evening. I've read the entire series in Polish, but as the books were not mine I never had a chance to re-read them. Now that they are available here in Canada, I'm looking forward to many months of blisful reading. Thank you so much!

I have read the Whole series of 47 books in Norwegian 3 times, and everytime I was totally embedded into the stories. They are very well written, and the historical information is very precise from the black plauge to the descriptions of Scandinavian towns. I have been waiting for several years for these books to come in English, and I am totally excited!!
