The Undiscovered Descendants
A spark. A secret. A destiny she never saw coming.
On a remote Scandinavian island where haunting beauty hides dangerous secrets, nothing stays buried for long.

Life on Auor Island is quiet, mundane even—or so Elin Bodil believes. But when two new students arrive, everything shifts. From the moment she meets Aedan Grady, an electric spark arcs between them, a force that feels both thrilling and dangerous. Then Tristan Rees appears, charming yet unnerving, asking questions she can’t answer and hinting at truths she never imagined.
Strange coincidences turn into unsettling events. Whispers of old Norse legends begin to feel less like stories and more like warnings. As their pull tightens, Elin must confront an impossible choice: whom to trust, whom to love, and how far she’s willing to go to claim a destiny she never asked for.
Because in a world built on secrets and lies, choosing wrong isn’t just dangerous—it’s deadly.
The Gray Fortress
A hidden futuristic world. A rising war. A power she never expected.
Elin, Aedan, and Tristan return to uncover more myths, magic, and secrets in the second installment of the Nordri Series.

Elin Bodil’s life has grown vastly more complicated since the events at Ash Park. Superhuman Clan Hunters now stalk her every move on Auor Island, the Gradys are confined to the safety of their fortified home, and her new powers are more out of control than ever. Undaunted and determined, Elin, the Gradys, and the Resistance plot a daring operation to set things right.
Meanwhile, Aedan endures relentless trials far from home. With the help of a surprising ally, he starts to unravel the Clan Chairman’s and his family’s secrets—setting him on a quest for answers he isn’t sure he wants.
In Falinvik, Tristan faces an unsettling promotion and an old rival that has him doubting himself. As their harrowing journeys bring them to the gray fortress, the three teens are propelled on unexpected paths—with earth-shattering consequences.
The Leikr Trials
A deadly tournament. A divided world. Three fates bound by fire and shadow.
In the glittering capital of Falinvik, the Leikr echo the old myths—where glory is fleeting, betrayal is certain, and survival is the only story remembered.
Read the description
Elin Bodil never asked for power, but when her visions pull her deep into the Resistance’s fight, she must master dangerous gifts she barely understands to keep her friends alive. Torn between a love that steadies her and a love that could consume her, Elin faces a choice that may cost her heart—or fracture the clans forever.
Inside the deadly Leikr, Aedan Grady is pushed to his limits. Shackled by secrets, manipulated by the Chairman, and hunted by rival teams, he must decide whether his strength is his own—or a weapon forged to control him.
Raised to serve the Stór-menni, Tristan Rees has always followed orders. But when forbidden truths unravel the foundations of his loyalty, he is forced onto a knife’s edge between duty and rebellion.
As myth and technology collide in a world on the brink of war, Elin, Aedan, and Tristan are drawn into a lethal struggle where trust can shatter, love can betray, and survival may demand the one sacrifice none of them are ready to make.
