About Beneath the Earth and Woods Of Ice and Sun: Book One

1804, Norway. The forest is wicked. Sigrid has known this since she was a child, having grown up hearing tales of the dark magic that lingers there. Until now she has heeded the warnings, too preoccupied with caring for her family to venture near the woodland. But when disease strikes their farm, the threat of destitution draws near. Desperate to save her family, Sigrid takes employment at a manor hidden within the forest. There a strange creature, the Udyr, dwells. To her surprise, her new employer is far from the monster she had been expecting. The soft-spoken Udyr, who is neither animal nor quite human, suffers beneath a malignant curse. Breaking the curse should be a salvation; to Sigrid’s horror, it is the very opposite. Upon revealing the Udyr’s true identity, he is abducted by a powerful being who has been watching him for years. Now, with only a talking fox and a pair of magic knitting needles for protection, Sigrid sets out on the perilous journey to rescue the one she has come to love—before he is bound to the realm below the earth forever. Inspired by the Norwegian fairy tale "East of the Sun and West of the Moon" and drawing on elements from the original "The Beauty and the Beast" novella, Beneath the Earth and Woods will captivate fans of both Norse mythology and heart-wrenching romance.
