Confused and afraid after Bjorn sets his boat off in a storm to find his wife, Peer stumbles home to Gudrun with the strange, dark girl. The mythology of the Selkies, the seal people who can take human form, the legend of Granny Green Teeth who lives under the water and, of course, the dark world of the trolls form the backdrop of this fantasy-filled book that is, overall, Peer's coming-of-age story.
