Beyond the Fog (The Charmed Fjords Book 1): A Romantic Fantasy Adventure
For centuries, the civilized hi-tech world of the Confederation has existed alongside the uncharted lands where no man has ever trodden before. An impermeable magic wall of Great Fog conceals mysterious fjords inhabited by what is believed to be savage barbarians. But are they?
The first Confederate expedition heads for the charmed fjords, bent on finding out their true nature. Olivia Orway joins it as a young talented anthropologist trying to put the secret of her tragic past behind her.
What she discovers beyond the magic wall of fog is an incredible world of lakes and cliffs inhabited by the Ilgs: a race whose origins are shrouded in mystery. Olivia is about to learn the secrets of this lost part of the world. She’s going to meet Sverr, the Lord of the Fjords – and what she’s about to discover is going to forever change her perspective, making her a different person.

About the author
Marina Surzhevskaya
5 books7 followersMarina Surzhevskaya is ranked as the most popular author of romantic fantasy at Litres, Russia’s largest bookselling portal and leader of Russia’s ebook market. Her works are eagerly awaited both as ebooks and in paperback form, as well as in audio.
Marina grew up surrounded by the austere treasures of Norse myths and legends. Over time, she realized she’d amassed so many stories of her own that she had to write them all down. Marina has a penchant for less-than-perfect characters in the firm belief that only they are capable of coming alive.
The author spends most of her time in St Petersburg where she studies art and history. The rest of her life is dedicated to her travels – both around the real world and through fictional ones. Although she doesn’t like talking about herself, you’re most likely to find her in small cafes looking out over the River Neva in the company of her laptop, a cup of piping-hot coffee and an imaginary crowd of her characters.

It’s an amazing story full of emotions, passion, love, adventures and magic. Everything I love about romantic fantasy is in here on the pages. An entirely new world completely captured me. Great adult main characters and their relationships kept me mesmerised. Sverr …I love Marina Surzhevskaya and I am really glad her book has been translated into English. She really deserves to be known and loved not only in Russia.

Did they just normalize raping and sharing a women in front of a clan? They obviously chastised Olivia for her opinion of that ritual.

Grāmata par kuru neko nezināju, bet man tik ļoti patika. Fantāzija, mīlestība, pūķi un galīgi ne Ceturtais spārns. Jaumna pasaule jauni piedzīvojumi, nedzirdēti notikumi.
