Synopsis

A fantastical romance with Norse roots that's a thriller murder mystery!

Four girls from very different backgrounds are making their way to the mysterious Rosenholm Boarding School from different corners of the country. The one thing they have in common is the strange offer they have received to apply for a place at what will turn out to be a school for magic, deeply embedded in Nordic mythology, nature magic, and shamanism. The girls have been invited to apply for a reason that is as yet unknown to themselves, but already during the unorthodox application tests, it becomes apparent that a spirit is trying to establish contact with the girls. It turns out that a young girl was murdered under mysterious circumstances in the 1980s and the killer was never found. Her spirit is still haunting the place, and she is now urging the four girls to bring justice and find the killer. But someone is keeping an eye on them, and it quickly becomes clear that their lives are in danger.

3. gang jeg læser den: Okay, ved 3. læsning må bogen altså fortjene den 5. stjerne, selvom jeg "kun" har givet den 4 stjerner de sidste to gange. Jeg synes virkelig at Rosenholm-trilogien er noget af det bedste danske fantasy, vi har derude. Man flyver igennem bøgerne og nogle af plot-pointene er mås......more

Bei diesem Buch handelt es sich um den 1. Teil einer Jugendbuch-Fantasy-Trilogie. Auf dieses Buch war ich wirklich sehr neugierig, denn der Klappentext hat mich sehr angesprochen. Die Autorin erzählt hier die Geschichte von Victoria, Kamille, Kirstine und Malou, die alle auf das Rosenholm-Internat au......more
