Wiilda and the Troll Trials

Small troll. Big heart. The cave was never big enough for her curiosity.

In Murky Mountain, every troll knows three things: stolen milk tastes better, never change your socks, and never-ever-step into the light. Above all else? Rules are rules.

Meet Wiilda af Dagglys: a young troll with an embarrassingly tiny tail and a head full of inconvenient questions no one wants her to ask.

With the Troll Trials looming, Wiilda is expected to steal treasure, honor tradition, and prove she's a True Troll. But she'd rather rescue an orphaned moose calf-and uncover what's really waiting beyond her dark, musty cave.

When a run-in with a stone giant sends her hurtling into the forbidden forest, Wiilda discovers a sunlit world of strange creatures, ancient secrets, and dangers her tribe never dared to mention. To survive, she'll need more than courage-she'll need to decide whether to follow the path laid out for her, or forge one of her own.

Inspired by Scandinavian folklore, Wiilda and the Troll Trials is a magical, mischievous middle-grade adventure for curious kids aged 8-12. Brimming with heart, humor, and just the right amount of troll trouble, it's a story about friendship, bravery, and being wonderfully, wildly yourself.

Perfect for fans of The House with Chicken Legs, Magnus Chase, and How to Train Your Dragon.
