About The Book

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.

Raves and Reviews

"The Scandinavian atmosphere and engaging narrative voices uplift and deepen this magical boarding school story."

– Kirkus Reviews on the Rosenholm series opener, Kirkus Reviews

"A worthy ending to a magnificent and dark fantasy crime story about friendship, love and magic."

– Emilie, Goodreads

"Once I sat down with the book and really got started, I really had a hard time putting it down, I just had to know more, and I had to know how it would all end."

– Benedict Erikson, The Book Home, benedictesbogblog.blogspot.com

"For the sake of those who are reading along, I will avoid spoiling anything, but SHUT UP NOW! I AM NOT OKAY! It's fantasy, it's #metoo, and it's absolutely fantastic! Gry Kappel Jensen has outdone herself!"

– Emma Thingsted, Goodreads

"Gry Kappel Jensen narrates with a firm grip of her story lines and a good understanding of the dramatic curve. The many shady deeds are revealed along the way with the help of Norse mythology and the many shade shifts of nature. The final culmination makes the Fall of the Walls of Jericho look like something involving Lego bricks. This is a great saga. A tour de force."

– Steffen Larsen, Politiken
