Synopsis
Anna Maria Olsdatter is orphaned after her parents' death and, though relatives offer to take her in, chooses to make her own way. She takes a post as a teacher for the miners' children in the small mining community of Ytterheden, where not everyone welcomes an outsider who upsets the settlement's established order. She also runs into a man from her past she once had feelings for, whose family has its own hidden motives toward the young, wealthy newcomer, while the shadow of the evil Tengel resurfaces.

Notes
- From the series record (The Legend of the Ice People): The original 47-volume saga (1982-1989) following the cursed Ice People clan across generations of Scandinavian history, marked by inherited supernatural gifts, a medallion-bound curse, and (in its later volumes) an underground kingdom where time itself runs differently. Two later continuations exist (a further ~35 volumes across two more parts, published years afterward) and are not yet catalogued here pending closer genre review.
