The winner of the 2019 Martinus Fantázia Award for fantasy short story ventures into the afterlife realms inspired by Finnish mythology, delivering an imaginative tale full of gods, demigods, humans and dark omens. In an engaging way using language worthy of an epic saga, the author describes the mythology and present-day pre-mortal realm of Dräkavrš and the four after-death realms. She vividly portrays individual characters that are as important as the intricate plot. It is a story of love without light, full of exploitation and betrayal, but also of redemption, gratitude and true love. Death and cruelty are inevitable, but the reader will be also surprised by unexpected twists.
