The Legend of the Ice People series has already captivated over 45 million readers across the world. The story of the Ice People is a moving legend of love and supernatural powers, a tale of the essential struggle between good and evil. Norway, 1581. The plague is sweeping through the country and the city of Trondheim is falling. Hidden deep amid the mountains that surround the city is a place where evil spirits are said to roam. Silje has always been haunted by visions of what's out there. But when she loses her family to the plague, her only choice is to take a path into the Land of Shadows. Her journey takes her far beyond her imagination and into the realm of the Ice People. Could the legends be true? Even as Silje fights to survive, she becomes entranced with a new world of spirits and magical powers. She meets handsome and dangerous men who make her burn with desire. As her fate unfolds, she is spellbound.

I want to know what happens next.' - The Times 'A mixture of myth and legend are interwoven with historical events, this is an imaginative creation that involves the reader from the first page to the last.' - Historical Novels Review 'Loved by the masses, the prolific Margit Sandemo has written over 172 novels to date and is Scandinavia s most widely read author...' - Scanorama magazine".… (more)

OMG Spellbound in English?! So many memories...

I think I will take out my copy and re-read it. ( )

The plot is unsurprisingly very thin, being first and foremost a romance, and the erotic description hasn't really aged well. But it's not quite as Harlequinesque as I remember it from my childhood; for the first part we mostly follow Silje in her daily life a countryside church painter. As soon as the forbidden, lusty romance became the main focus, however, I lost interest. But who knows, maybe I'll rediscover it in another fifteen years. ( )

the first book of 47, it is fascinating, and I instantly fell in love with the characters, some grammatical errors, but I over looked it because it was translated from Norwegian. ( )
