Beyond Thundering Waters

A Modern Norwegian Folktale

by Georgina Jeffery

A dark fairy tale in a modern Norwegian setting. Ida, a young girl grieving the loss of her mother, is wandering in the snowy wilderness when she meets the mysterious Maja - a huldra from myth and legend. Taking comfort in Maja's kind arms, Ida makes a desperate wish for her family to be whole again... and gets far more than she bargained for.

With her own home turned against her, Ida must race across the wild valley to save her Pappa and confront the huldra before time runs out.
