Sixteen-year-old Eiric Halvorsen is among the luckier ones-his family has remained prosperous. But he stands to lose everything when he's wrongly convicted by a rigged jury of murdering his modir and stepfadir. Also at risk is Eiric's half-systir, Liv, who's under suspicion for her interest in seidr, or magic. Then a powerful jarl steps in: He will pay the blood price if Eiric will lead a mission to the fabled Temple at the Grove-the rich stronghold of the wyrdspinners, the last practitioners of sorcery.  Spellsinger, musician, and runecaster Reginn Eiklund has spent her life performing at alehouses for the benefit of her master, Asger, a fire demon she is desperate to escape. After one performance that amazes even herself, two wyrdspinners in the audience make Reginn an irresistible offer: return with them to the Temple to be trained in seidr, forever free of Asger.  Eiric's, Liv's, and Reginn's journeys converge in New Jotunheim, a paradise fueled by magic and the site of the Temple. They soon realize that a great evil lurks beneath the dazzling surface and that old betrayals and long-held grudges may fuel another cataclysmic war. It will require every gift and weapon at their command to prevent it.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46056985559259,"sku":"9780063018693","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d2ce7e98126344fa82e3f6dc8207edaa.png?v=1726654530"},{"product_id":"9788794102926-retail-architecture-of-the-glyptotek","title":"Architecture of the Glyptotek","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Jannie Rosenberg Bendsen\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardback, 245mm x 320mm, 1660g, 432 pages\u003cbr\u003ePublished: Strandberg Publishing, Denmark, 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe New Carlsberg Glyptotek was established by brewer Carl Jacobsen in 1897, as a venue where the Danes could enjoy his ever-expanding collection of contemporary art.

Perfect for fans of Sophie Anderson's The Girl Who Speaks Bear, Abi Elphinstone and Fireborn! From the acclaimed writer of Ship of Shadows comes a brand-new fantasy following the magical journey of one girl and her bear. In a land of ice and stars, where constant troll invasions threaten to shake the moon from the sky, lives a girl with a magical destiny. A girl braver than a Viking, who will one day hold the fate of the North in her hands. That girl is Saga Thorolfsdottir. But there's just one problem- ever since her parents died wielding powerful runes, Saga has been deathly afraid of magic. She would much rather stay within the safety of her village and play with her pet bear, Bj rn, than pursue any kind of magical destiny. So when Saga accidentally disturbs a clan of trolls in the mountains, leading to her whole village being taken prisoner, she has to face her fears head on. No amount of rune magic will defeat these monsters, and Saga has only one option - to compete in the Fifth Winter contest, an incredible tournament where only the bravest may enter and only one champion can win. The prize? A horn of magic, powerful enough to rattle the gods themselves . . .
