About this audiobook
Dive into the watery world of mermaids, sea serpents, and the gargantuan and always ravenous kraken.
From life on and near Scandinavian seas and lakes developed a rich tradition of folkloric tales of water spirits, creatures who disturbed this untamed element, thriving in the cold, dark deep.
The water spirits of the north could conjure storms, break ships apart, or enchant unsuspecting humans with songs so beautiful they lost all common sense. Some swam out of Norse Mythology and saga literature to adapt and evolve alongside newer creatures, to rule an element where the price to thrive was the absence of a soul or a proper grave.
Explore Scandinavian folklore through the mysterious water spirits who often controlled the fates of sailors and fishermen. Within these pages are also retellings of traditional short tales that breathe life into the cold and unforgiving sea creatures of the Nordics.
