Spellbound
Winter 1581: a deadly plague outbreak robs sixteen-year old peasant girl Silje of all her family. Homeless, starving and shepherding two foundling infants, she stumbles through the corpse-strewn streets of Trondheim on Norway’s northern coast.
Heading desperately for the warmth of the mass funeral pyres blazing beyond the city gates, she encounters in the shadowy forest one of the infamous Ice People, a fearsome, strangely captivating ‘wolf man’. He offers help -- and she feels irresistibly drawn to him. But what is the terrible fascination ? And where will it lead ?

Witch-Hunt
In Witch-Hunt, Silje Arngrimsdotter, the seventeen-year-old heroine of the opening novel Spellbound, struggles to come to terms with the harshness of life in a high mountain valley among the witches and warlocks of the mysterious Ice People.
Having fled there for her life with her adored ‘wolf man’ and two foundling infants from the Trondheim plague, Silje has bravely borne their first child. But this life of austere poverty is shattered when bloodthirsty, witch-hunting troops invade the remote valley.
Warned in time, Silje, her ‘wolf man’ and their charges flee from the carnage to the lowlands again to begin a new life. But unknowingly are they also carrying with them into the future the accursed heritage of the Ice People?

Depths of Darkness
In The Depths of Darkness, Sol Angelica, the beautiful and restless niece of Tengel, becomes the focus of the story…At twenty years of age she is able to give full and free rein to her long-held wish to seek out ancient witches covens in the lowlands and to worship the Powers of Darkness unrestrainedly. At last she feels ready to fulfil all her secret and depraved dreams of power and carnal passion.
Yet like her uncle Tengel, all her impulses are not evil – it is not only the dark powers that guide her. And she finds she is ready to give her life to protect those nearest and dearest to her…

Yearning
In Yearning, the historic evil curse so feared by the dwindling descendants of the IcePeople comes to fruition. A terrifying child, Kolgrim, is born to Sunniva, daughter of the unrepentant witch, Sol Angelica, whom Silje rescued from the plague in the first novel Spellbound.
As Kolgrim grows up, the lives of Silje and Tengel are drawing to a close and the focus moves to their children and grandchildren. A granddaughter Cecilie, governness to the family of King Christian IV, is caught up in the court intrigues in Copenhagen – and with the Thirty Years War raging across Europe, recruiting squads begin dragging off the youngest descendants of the Ice People to fight in that harsh conflict in Germany…

Mortal Sin
In Mortal Sin, Silje’s granddaughter, Cecilie, jeopardises her role as governess at the court of King Christian IV when she becomes pregnant – by a priest! But to save herself and her new husband, she marries one of the king’s closest advisers Marquis Alexander Paladin, who faces disgrace because of his homosexual activity and they declare her child their own. Against the background of the Thirty Years War the drama of their tortured marriage forms the core of this book.

Evil Inheritance
In Evil Inheritance Mattias, a good-hearted grandson of Sile and Tengel inherits the vast, secret collection of Ice People medicines and formulas, including an all-powerful mandrake root. But the ominous Kolgrim wants the collection for himself and lures Mattias to a meeting in the depths of the infamous Kongsberg silver mines where slave children are forced to work without any hope of release. Kolgrim escapes with the collection of balms and potions and returns to the high Valley of the Ice People in search of a vital cauldron of evil water…
