A Nordic soul. An Eastern legacy. A universal call to courage. The Spirit Dragon’s Keeper , is the breathtaking first book in The Polar Saga by Swedish author, Catarina Lilliehöök, who lived in China for over two decades. Blending the Arctic mysticism of Sápmi with ancient Chinese martial traditions, this spellbinding novel bridges worlds, cultures, and genres in a wholly original fantasy adventure. Set against a backdrop of icy tundras and whispering bamboo forests, the story follows young Mila—stolen from her reindeer-herding family and thrust into a sacred dragon temple deep in China—where secrets of destiny, elemental forces, and ancient enemies unravel with each turning page. Lilliehöök’s storytelling is both intimate and epic, rooted in Sámi folklore and infused with Eastern philosophy, delivered with the lyrical precision of an author whose cultural fluency knows no borders. It’s a rare tale of survival, identity, and inner power—crafted for readers young and old who yearn for meaning in their mythologies
