Official Blurb:

In the misty realms of 16th-century Scandinavia, where myths dance with reality, Katarina finds herself ensnared in a perilous dance between the mortal and the ethereal. Possessed by the elusive mare, her world fractures, and the shadows grow darker. But amidst the chaos, a reluctant guardian emerges - Ulrik, the enigmatic master of her estate, harboring demonic secrets darker than the midnight sea.

Review:

This is hands down one of the most beautifully written books I’ve ever read - it is so so so easy to picture the world that AUTHOR has imagined. 

From the description of the tense and mysterious land, to the sensory ways the seasons and the atmospheres are explained - every line of this book whisks you away to another place. 

Even the intimate scenes are painted like a  work of art, feeling delicate and warm.

The inclusions of Nordic folklore really help to tie the story together, bringing Katarina’s desire to coexist with and 

understand the creatures at full force against Ulrich’s inherent need to protect her against them. 

I also love the fact that Katarina is in her thirties and has lived a life. She isn’t defined by the circumstances between her and Ulrich, she is strengthened by them and who she is is what helps guide her through. 

All in all, Whispers of the Nordic Draugr is a beautiful book full of folklore, mystery and love and I’m honored to have read it.
