North Is the Night
YOU'RE MINE IN LIFE AND DEATH-BODY AND SOUL.

In the depths of the Finnish wilderness, more than wolves roam the dark woods.

When a death goddess attacks their village, best friends Siiri and Aina prove helpless to stop her from dragging Aina into Tuonela, the mythical underworld.

Determined to save her beloved Aina, Siiri braves a dangerous journey north, seeking help from the greatest shaman of legend-the only person ever to venture into Tuonela and return alive. There's only one problem ... the stories say he's dead.

In Tuonela, the cruel Witch Queen turns Aina's every waking moment into a living nightmare. But Aina soon learns that the God of Death himself has plans for her.

To escape, she strikes a costly bargain with him, not knowing that Siiri plots a daring rescue.

In this sweeping fantasy adventure-perfect for fans of Adrienne Young and Genevieve Gornichec-hope and love must conquer even death itself.

“Rich, vivid, and brimming with emotion, North is the Night pays touching homage to Finnish culture and mythology while forging a unique path all its own. ... You will weep and cheer for Siiri and Aina as they find their strength and claim their power.”-Vaishnavi Patel, New York Times bestselling author of Kaikeyi

Khaya Fraites and Emily Lawrence give spirited performances in this introduction to a rich duology based on Finnish fantasy. Aina and Siiri have been separated by the death gods as they work to survive a very harsh winter. Aina is sent to endure Tuonela, the underworld, and Siiri travels to save her. Both women embark on challenging trials, and Fraites and Lawrence depict them with an intense narration. While Aina is cleverly trying to dodge the corruption of the gods and Siiri battles the wild elements in the mortal world, they recount memories of their bond with fondness. Action scenes are plentiful and strongly performed, creating anticipation for the next installment. G.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine
