Meet the trolls: The worst train crash in modern times occurs one summer night in the deep forest. Everyone dies except Linus. Weeks later he staggers out of the woods, miles from the crash site, confused, malnourished and with severe memory loss.

Years later he is immensely rich and the owner of an airship empire, but he is dying. On his deathbed he reveals to Ingra Varg where his wealth came from and what actually happened in the forest. Ingra’s life will never be the same.

Did he find something, or did something find him?

Linus Kaiser is dead. Summer is around the corner but winter refuses to let go. Summer is the front door but the winter refuses to let go. An icy cold has struck Sweden. In the woods, human is against troll in the struggle for survival.

Ingra is left in Stockholm, where the difference between life and death is a rattle in a drainpipe, a whisper behond ones back and shadows crawling the facades. From a run-down hostel in Denmark attempts are made to rule over a Sweden buried in snow and ice, where the laws of nature are no longer valid.

ALBA, published 2009.

“My first space travel was a sophisticated teen rebellion. Instead of standing with my thumb along truck-laden roads I stepped out in the universe. I lied about my age, faked my past and pretended to be someone else.”

Alba is on the run from a miserable childhood and finds her way to Mars. There she manages to get a job at the research base Elysium. When an expedition is sent out to explore a new planet, she’s an unbacked participant among the other scientists. But not everyone on the team has good intentions. Face to face with the planet inhabitants the meeting is brutal and everything changes.
