The Wolf Tale

Sixteen-year-old Wille and fourteen-year-old Hugo, two brothers from the small village of Horndal, are like other teenagers, dealing with love troubles, strong friendships, and school fatigue - a typical teenage life where nothing unexpected happens. But fate has different plans, and after a terrifying nightmare, Wille receives a peculiar necklace from his mother. Soon he realises that reality is not what it seems, and Hugo is hiding a heavy secret from him. When a new guy starts in Wille's class, it becomes the beginning of an adventure that takes Wille and Hugo, along with their friends Oscar and Lovisa, far away from their hometown. The journey takes them through dense forests and over mighty mountains, all while being chased by demonic creatures and malevolent beings. Their guide is a mysterious, talking wolf that leads them north towards the mountainous regions near the Norwegian border. This is the story of Wille and his brother Hugo, who one day discover that they are gods and must leave their home in the human world to make their way to the gods' realm in Asgard. It becomes an intense pursuit where they are hunted by forces of evil and must collaborate to stay alive until they reach safety. They must confront the darkness within themselves, and their friendship is put to the test as they face dangerous decisions and terrifying enemies. However, they also meet new friends who show them that friendship and love are worth fighting for. A tale of adventure, magic, sorrow, and terror - but also humour, friendship, love, and embracing one's true self. A
