Heir of Svartån

"So you are the new thegn of Svartån?"

Ina Svanunge has spent her whole life in Fargo, counting the days until she's free of her abusive mother — and escaping into her favourite video game series, Lohikärra, whenever the world gets to be too much.

Then the game stops being a game.

Pulled into Lohikärra for real, Ina discovers that the Norse-inspired world of rune-magic, thegns, and ancient power isn't just somewhere she's always wanted to live — it's somewhere she was always meant to be. Her long-absent father was one of its most powerful thegns, and she is his rightful heir.

But she isn't the only one with a claim to Svartån. And the others aren't content to simply outmaneuver her — they want her dead.

Now Ina must journey across a land as beautiful as it is unforgiving, fighting for a birthright she barely understands, with only her best friend Mattie and the handsome Haldrek by her side. The magic of Lohikärra responds to those who earn it — and if Ina wants to survive, she's going to have to earn it fast.

She always dreamed of belonging here. Now she has to prove she deserves to.

Perfect for fans of Narnia, How to Train Your Dragon, and Skyrim
