The Polar Saga

“This book series was born in a café, in a small back alley, on a dark and rainy night in Hong Kong’s central district. As the wind raged outside, Teacher Xu Xi whispered the age old adage, Write what you know. And barely had she taken a sip of her steaming green tea before cogs of experience and dreaming started turning vividly in my head. After having lived for over two decades in China and Hong Kong—and as a native Swede with a never-ending thirst for the beauty and mysteries of Polar North, home of Sámi people and reindeer—visions and sensations began fluttering like insects in my mind. An idea took rapidly form. This is a tale of clashing cultures, of history and legends, of love and hardship and a deep connection to earth’s solid powers. And of course, of magic and dragons.” - Catarina Lilliehöök
