Fairy tales are explorations of our deepest fears and desires. The Norwegian fairy tale East of the Sun, West of the Moon is no exception, as it delves into what rules bind us and why, and the inner and outer beauty in us all. That it does this by taking us on a breathtaking journey to the four corners of the world, and by giving us a heroine who defies all stereotypes only makes it more compelling. Mistress of the Wind is an adult retelling of this exciting, captivating tale - it stays true to the original, but adds a few twists of its own. Mistress of the Wind has recently been nominated by readers for an IRC Best Book 2014 award in the fantasy romance category.
