Nightshade -- Gry Kappel Jensen, Hardcover

WINNER OF THE BEST DANISH FANTASY NOVEL OF THE YEAR AWARD

Nightshade is the exciting and dramatic culmination of the Rosenholm fantasy trilogy, the bestselling Danish series full of magic, Nordic mythology, mystery and love, which takes the classic boarding school setting and turns it into its very own.

Four girls. Four fates.

A hunt for the truth.

The first will go into darkness. The second must choose between those she loves. The third must give an offering. And the fourth will pass judgement.

In this final book of the Rosenholm trilogy, the four friends have finally found out who murdered the young woman Trine in the 80s. However, it quickly turns out that the murder was only a small part of a dark and macabre past at Rosenholm, and several puzzles must be solved before Trine can get her revenge. They do their best to work around the new guidelines Jens has put in place in order to make room for the darm branches of magic.

Nightshade draws on myth, folklore, and history, making for a compelling story from start to finish.
