The Dark Song

Stina Rundqvist’s debut novel, The Dark Song, blends folklore with psychological depth, crafting a tale that explores love, danger, and the mysteries of the unknown. Drawing inspiration from T. Kingfisher’s darkly whimsical supernatural worlds and Katee Robert’s bold mix of romance and mythology, Rundqvist offers a narrative that is both haunting and captivating.

Set against the backdrop of an eerie forest, the story follows Emilia, who retreats to the woods seeking solace but instead encounters a haunting melody that lures her deeper into the unknown. There, she meets Nick, a mysterious and magnetic figure whose music hides a sinister connection to the forest’s deadly legends.

As Emilia is drawn further into Nick’s world, she must uncover the truth about the forces binding him to the forest. Caught between love and survival, she faces a terrifying choice: escape the darkness or risk being consumed by it.

The Dark Song is a compelling journey into a world where ancient myths come to life, and the line between safety and peril blurs with every note of the haunting tune.
