Die fünfzehnjährige Mira ist entsetzt: Ihre Mutter hat kurzerhand entschieden, sie auf ein abgelegenes Internat zu schicken. Zwar ist das Verhältnis zu ihrer Mutter seit Jahren angespannt, doch die strengen Regeln und das Leben abseits der Stadt passen einem Freigeist wie Mira überhaupt nicht! Wen wundert es also, dass sie von Beginn an als eigenbrötlerische Unruhestifterin wahrgenommen wird? Als sie jedoch ein geheimnisvolles Leuchten in einem verlassenen Haus entdeckt, weckt dies ihre Neugier. Was verbirgt sich hinter dem rätselhaften Licht?

Bajo el manto de ceniza que cubre lo que antes había sido la creación, laten las potencias dormidas de los dioses que han sobrevivido al cumplimiento del Ragnarök. En su fatigoso despertar, estos supervivientes habrán de rehacer sus vidas en un páramo donde reina la tristeza y la pérdida. Pero hay motivos para la esperanza. Balder y Freya, después de recorrer el mundo devastado, afirman que una brizna de luz se agita en medio de la más absoluta negrura, esbozando la posibilidad de un renacimiento.

Todo está por hacer después del Ragnarök. La desolación que trajo el cumplimiento de la profecía arrasó los nueve mundos, pero ha traído una nueva era marcada por la voluntad de los supervivientes de reconstruir sus vidas, unidos en una hermandad donde la convivencia y la armonía dominen en Vidblain, el bello mundo recién nacido. Sin embargo, la ardua tarea de reconstrucción no estará exenta de recelos, dolor y muerte, ni de grandes dificultades que solo podrán superar si las afrontan unidos.

La tragedia se cierne sobre los nueve mundos. El sol y la luna están en peligro porque los hijos monstruosos de Loki les acechan. Buscan venganza por la condena de los dioses a su padre, atado a perpetuidad en una cueva y sufriendo el veneno de una víbora sobre su rostro. Odín intenta evitar que la profecía se cumpla, que la creación no caiga en un invierno perenne y las guerras lo arrasen todo. En el caos, Henrika, una joven granjera, deberá proteger la vida de los suyos.

In The Revenge of the Foxes, Ak Welsapar crafts a moving and darkly humorous narrative set in a Moscow hospital during the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Through the lives of young patients awaiting heart surgery, Welsapar explores love, loss, and the human desire to cling to life amidst uncertainty. The contrasting characters—a poetic Turkmen, a Stalinist with a mechanical heart, and the ill-fated Mary—represent a clash between the “robotic” future and soulful resilience, embodying the struggles of a generation on the brink of change.

Den danske præst, digter og forfatter Steen Steensen Blicher (1782-1848) var en af hovedkræfterne i den danske Guldalder, og han er kendt og elsket for sine digte, noveller og oversættelser. Niels Aage Barfoeds roman fortæller om Blichers liv og virke som både digter og præst, om hans komplicerede personlighed og politiske engagement. Og ikke mindst om hans ustabile helbred, der i høj grad var betinget af den modgang, han mødte fra samfundet og i sit ægteskab, hvor han i en lang periode var overbevist om, at hans kone var ham utro.
