Kari is cursed to be mistrusted because people see his mother Gudrun in his face, making appearance part of the conflict.
Jessa, Kari, Wulfgar, Skapti, Brochael and Hakon work together against threats, while the trilogy is described as having forceful things to say about loyalty and friendship.
Jessa is described as the main viewpoint character and as an impressive young woman who is the strongest and focal character.
Be ready for dark fantasy material: characters are banished, cursed and mistrusted; a magical monster kills; a soul is stolen; and protagonists face the possibility of death while confronting a witch.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
