Description
Trollheim: Tale of Systir introduces us to Sýstir’s world, which is small and quiet but shrouded in secrets. Outside of her family’s cottage, there lurks the constant threat of being discovered for what she truly is: unwanted, dangerous, Huldra. When their mother is accused of witchcraft and dragged to the stake, Sýstir and her sister must run for their lives. Yet, only Sýstir escapes.
Taken in by the rogue troll Agagkantor, Sýstir finds herself in the Dark Forest, otherwise known as Trollheim. Here, she discovers a magical realm for mythical beings and a sanctuary for those with nowhere left to turn. For Sýstir, it’s a chance to forge a new family and live life as her true self. But questions remain about her missing sister, and Agagkantor carries a secret of his own – one that could unravel Sýstir’s past and destroy the Dark Forest entirely…
