Doch Caliban ist nicht nur real, sondern auch der Prinz der Hölle – und er schwebt in tödlicher Gefahr. Um ihn zu retten, muss Marlow in die Heimat ihrer Vorfahren zurückkehren: das Pantheon der nordischen Götter.

The journey of the Dark Goddess is a natural part of any difficult rite of passage. These transitions are often thought of as negative—death of a loved one, job loss, home loss, chronic illness, divorce—but even so-called "happy" transitions, such as marriage, the birth of a child, or retirement, can come with unexpected instability, grief, and a need for integration.

This world does not exist in some other place, but is right beside us, just outside of our usual perceptions.
