A young thief marked by an ancient witch bloodline becomes prey in a Nordic-noir folk-horror chase as mercenaries hunt her across frozen Scandinavia for her magic.
Alva makes her living on the margins, running break-ins with her small-time crew and keeping her head down. But when a late-night burglary uncovers an ancient witch imprisoned behind a steel door, her life spirals into a supernatural thriller. Forced to flee across the frozen north with her friend Mini, Alva becomes the target of the Craftsmen, a secretive order obsessed with hunting the magical Aldinn tribes.
As their world closes in, Alva discovers she isn’t just another thief: she carries the blood of the Fell, a near-extinct people with abilities the Craftsmen will do anything to control. To survive, Alva must decide who she can trust, uncover the truth about her mysterious origins, and navigate a violent, shifting landscape where humans and monsters are not so easily told apart.
This fresh take on witchcraft is the first graphic novel of the planned Scandi-noir horror trilogy from creators Aksel Sudsgarth and Daniel Hansen. Fans of European comics, supernatural thrillers, and richly imagined mythologies will be enchanted by this contemporary dark fantasy.
Aksel Studsgarth is a Danish writer and storyteller specializing in dark, myth-infused narratives drawn from Scandinavian folklore and history. His work blends crime, horror, and fantasy with a strong sense of place.
Daniel Hansen is a Swedish illustrator known for his brooding, atmospheric linework and striking visual worldbuilding. His work emphasizes mood, texture, and the harsh beauty of Nordic landscapes.
