Magic over misty marshes

By pure chance Emma learnt the truth about her father. And it turns out to be quite different to what she’d believed. Emma nurtures a dream of finding him and reuniting her parents. The quest pushes her into new journeys to other worlds and right into the fearful Reeking Fen which is guarded by the infamous Moss People. Emma feels certain that her own magic is strong and will ensure her safety wherever she goes. But how wrong can she be…

“When my werewolf-book was finished (When the Third Moon Rises, 2006) I was asked if I could write more about Henrik and Emma, and perhaps tell the next story from Emma’s point of view. Fine with me, I thought, and began pondering what kind of story that would be. The answer came in an antique book store, when I came across a Danish book called Mosefolket (The Bog People) about the ancient bodies found in bogs, remarkably well preserved, even after more than 2000 years. (… )From my imagination grew the Moss People, and their last hiding place: the Misty Marshes. Add one impatient Emma, who needs to cross this land, Emma’s mother, who has been keeping a secret from Emma; and Henrik who is the helping hand when all goes wrong. Good thing he still has the ability he gained in his former adventure: putting on a wolf shape at will.” (Sissel Chipman)
