Beskrivelse
The Salmon King is a captivating tale set on the Island of Eysturoy in the Faroe Islands, blending past and present. It weaves together history, folklore, and modern challenges, exploring ancient legends alongside contemporary salmon farming.
A modern story inspired by Faroese legends and the mystical forces of nature.
The Salmon King unfolds on Eysturoy, one of the Faroe Islands, where the narrative moves between historical times and today’s world. Drawing deeply from the islands’ rich heritage, the story is inspired by old legends, folk ballads, and traditional beliefs.
Against a backdrop of quota barons and salmon farming, the tale suggests that unseen powers might still influence the magical Faroese landscape. When people-whether descended from jotun or human blood-reach beyond their limits, fortune can quickly turn, stirring not only human anger but also the wrath of the Invisible.
This book is the first installment in a planned series of contemporary Nordic tales. It is also available in Danish and features vibrant illustrations by Unna Hvid, created in watercolour and mixed media.
