An illustrated children book with CD! A magical story about a girl who seeks her soul song!

The nordic girl Nieva has to leave the safety of her village and defy the danger of a journey through harsh nature. She has to confront herself with her fears and rescue her mother who is captured in the web of Arvind in the mountain Osskolten and who is falling into oblivion. Through this risky undertaking, Nieva also has to rescue her own soul and therefore the old, forgotten, healing power of the shamanic tradition of her people.

What is this project all about?

On Nieva´s 10th Birthday her grandmother Sossa makes her a very special gift: the fire drum of Nieva´s mother Aini. This drum is magical. It starts blazing in the night and the symbols on the drum starts moving. The drum talks to Nieva. Does the drum wants Nieva to find her mother? One night the drum get stolen. And therefore all the legends and stories of her tradition. Nieva is determined to find that drum; if not everyone will vanish, like her mother disappeared right after Nieva was born. The web of oblivion is weaving a man called Arvind deep down in the mountain of Osskolten and he has everything in his control; her mother, the legends of her nation and she is sure also her fire drum. Nieva starts her adventurious journey to seek her fire drum and the forgotten sound of her nation; the Joik. Her helpers on that quest is a columbian boy, a Husky dog, a bear and a white reindeer.
A story which reassure us, to follow our hearts and which arouses and reveales beautiful secrets of our souls to overcome fears and doubts. It is a story of a girl who has to find her own soul song to believe in herself and overcome all obstacles.
An adventurous seek into the soul of a nation and into the courageous heart of a girl!
