Olgir is the son of a king, expelled by his father for self-will and insolence. To receive forgiveness, he must find the white horse from the sagas and legends. On the way, Olgir meets Ingrid, and now he only needs her. But the maiden resists and swears that the king’s son will die if he takes possession of her. On her side are powerful gods, and on his side are only fiery feelings... How will a chance meeting change the lives of many? And who will decide to fix everything, obeying fate? These are sagas about myths, the human path and poetry. About people whose rivers of destinies have merged into one stream, and about a bird that illuminates its path with fire. The first book in the Anna Yorm series, which will immerse the reader in Viking times, in times at the turn of eras: pagan gods retreat under the onslaught of Christianity. A complex interweaving of plots lines: the imperious Olgir and the unyielding Ingrid, secondary characters, lively and three-dimensional, constrained by obligations and driven by their own interests. A world filled with ancient magic, magical creatures of the past: werewolves, huldras, horned spirits of the forest. Careful study of the life of that time, the smallest details of life, which the author describes as if she saw it with her own eyes.
