Bernat Saenz Sala

KEY SELLING POINTS

An epic YA fantasy novel set in a fictional medieval world.
Full of well-drawn characters and dynamic battle scenes.
Also contains modern themes such as gender power discussions and LGBTQ relationships.

A young woman, Idunn, and a young man, Heimdar, make a perilous journey to initially help gather momentum
for their religion, The Old Faith. Along the way, they are joined by others, including a minstrel, a young warrior
who is testing her sexual boundaries, and a loyal wolf.

Their journey takes an unexpected detour when Idunn discovers her mother, previously thought dead, is alive.

Meanwhile, the kings in neighbouring lands decide to attack over the differences between The New Faith and
The Old Faith. Yet, the subtext is clear; this is not only about religion but also about greed and power for one
side and freedom of expression for the other.

Bernat Saenz Sala has worked as an archaeologist after studying history at the University of Girona. Since a
young age there has always been a great interest in fantasy and medieval age stories, having grown up with
Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and PC games such as Crusader Kings.
