Beskrivelse
When the cold hand reaches southward,
reaches with its frozen fingers,
comes a child into the Northland,
all the clans to bring together.
The child is Ulla, a green-eyed girl from a hardscrabble village in Iron-Age Finland. Mauled by a bear, she is healed by the famous wizard Väinämöinen, but walks away with a striking scar that evokes an ancient prophecy. Hundreds of miles away, Prince Egan is thrust into power when his father is killed by a horrific shade from Hell.
The lives of the two young heroes intertwine as they battle Löhi, a powerful sorceress and the Far Northern Land's ancient enemy. For Egan, this means overcoming the skepticism of his own people and the hidden self-doubt that gnaws at him deep inside. Torn from everyone she ever knew, Ulla embarks on a desperate search for love and belonging, and takes the first steps to becoming a wizard herself.
The Mark of the Bear Clan, Book I of the Far Northern Land Saga, goes where no epic fantasy series has ever gone before-Finnish mythology and the world of the Kalevala, where legendary heroes like the wizard Väinämöinen mix with original characters like Ulla and Egan to create a unique mosaic wholly new to fantasy literature.
