When a dear family member is kidnapped, Adam, Tara and Tobias have to risk everything to free him. They must climb deep underground, all the way to Helheim! Trolls, dragons and Loki himself stand in their way, and other dangers also lurk in the dark tunnels... A pale girl crawls around down there looking for blood, and even the biggest trolls are afraid of her.

Kjetil Nystuen
Arne Lindmo (b. 1981) loves to write exciting stories inspired by Norwegian fairy tales and myths, a theme that has fascinated him since he was a boy. He has worked for many years as a teacher and even then used to make up small, scary stories that he constantly told the students in class, to keep the students awake during the class. Occasionally, his stories kept individual students awake at night as well.
Norwegian illustrator Ida Skjelbakken's photographic style brings the book's characters and battle scenes to life in a cinematic way. Her execution is impressive and her style fits the fantasy genre perfectly!
