Saemundur the Mad, addict and sorcerer, has been expelled from the magical university, Svartiskoli, and can no longer study galdur, an esoteric source of magic. Obsessed with proving his peers wrong, he will stop at nothing to gain absolute power and knowledge, especially of that long forbidden. Garun is an outcast: half-human, half-huldufolk - her very existence a violation of dimensional boundaries. A militant revolutionary and graffiti artist, she will do anything to achieve a just society, even spark a revolution... A strikingly original Icelandic debut set in a strangely familiar alternate Reykjavik where wild and industrialised magic meet.
