Description
North Is The Night by Emily Rath is a feminist fantasy adventure that explores the power of female friendship and love in the face of adversity. In the harsh Finnish wilderness, best friends Aina and Siiri's bond is tested when Aina is kidnapped by a death goddess and taken to the mythical underworld Tuonela.
Determined to save her friend, Siiri embarks on a perilous journey north to seek out Väinämöinen, the only mystical shaman to travel to Tuonela and return alive. As she navigates treacherous landscapes and formidable foes, Siiri must use all her strength and cunning to survive. But finding Väinämöinen is only the beginning - Siiri must convince him to share his magic in order to rescue Aina.
Aina, meanwhile, finds herself trapped in the dark underworld, forced to play the sadistic games of Tuonetar, the cruel queen of the underworld. But Aina's kindness and determination allow her to forge unexpected alliances, and she soon discovers that Tuoni, the god of death and king of Tuonela, is also a victim of Tuonetar's spells. With her fate hanging in the balance, Aina must make a choice that will alter the course of her life forever.
