A curse from long ago. An ancient lineage of kings. And three teenagers who are about to find out that fairy tales are more than just stories...
Saedis and Sola grew up in the shadow of the White Mountain, surrounded by tales of magical animals and wicked trolls. Saedis never once thought they were real-until a beast out of legend took her younger sister...
Ash wants nothing more than to be a storyteller, living a life of adventure like the heroes in his tales. Unfortunately, what he's got are no prospects, a bad reputation, and no direction. Until he meets a girl who tells him the stories are real...
Now Sola is trapped in a magical world outside of their own, entangled in an ancient curse that seems to have lain in wait just for her. When bear kings and trolls vie for power and magic can take on a life of its own, every offer of help could be a trap. Can Saedis, Sola, and Ash find each other before the lands bright and shadowed claim their freedom-or their lives?
East of the Sun is book one in the saga of the Bear Kings, an epic fairy tale adventure set in a world based on Norwegian folklore.
