Overview:
Belladonna meets Norse mythology in this gorgeous dark fantasy debut that follows a teen, Astrid, who accidentally awakens an imprisoned draugr and must venture into a deadly magical forest to rescue her grandmother.

Synopsis

Never go beyond the stave church. Within Tiveden Forest, bloodthirsty monsters known as draugr lurk behind every tree, and secrets run through the soil like twisted roots. When her grandmother vanishes into the forest, Astrid won’t let Crohn’s disease stop her from finding her.

As she searches for her lost loved one, Astrid uncovers an even greater mystery: a conflict that’s haunted her village and family for generations—an ancient blood oath her ancestor made to protect them and a deadly draugr imprisoned for centuries, whom Astrid inadvertently awakens.

Newly revived, Soren mistakenly thinks Astrid is his ancestor, his ex-lover turned enemy. As they delve deeper into Tiveden, Astrid realizes she’ll need Soren’s help to rescue her grandmother. To save her home, a dark ritual must be performed before Midwinter—and only Astrid can fulfill her ancestor’s blood oath… or break it, if Soren or the forest doesn't break her first.
