Reviews

"This is genuinely an unsettling book where Nordic folklore intertwines with murder and twisted love in a modern setting. The language is beautifully written, and the world built within the story is both thrilling and captivating. I really connected with Emilia, who felt so real, and I quickly raced through the story."

"Dark, intense, mysterious, hair-raising, and fascinating, The Dark Song feels innovative and unique despite featuring mythical beings like the Näcken and Sirens. The urban fantasy setting adds a modern, real-world edge that makes the story even scarier. The main characters are layered, complex, and mysterious,
and the romance is among the darkest I’ve read."

"The Dark Song is a beautifully written debut where folklore becomes reality in a
dark story filled with mythical creatures, violin music, and blood. The plot is spine-chilling, dark, and mysterious, with an atmosphere that immerses the
reader completely. Rundqvist’s language is rich, and the characters are deeply layered, making this one of the best books I’ve read this year."

“Swedish folklore and romance in a refreshing combination. We predict that Stina Rundqvist is on her way to becoming the fantasy queen Sweden needs.”
