De Bundne

An old man on a bench. A name no one remembers. And a hidden city with a secret worth four hundred lives.

Liv has a magical life now, and a job that matters. Then a new late one appears: Ejner, a lonely widower whose garden blooms in the middle of winter. His impossible garden is beautiful. It is also a warning.

All over the island, the keepers who hold old and dangerous things asleep have been quietly disappearing. One of them sits on a bench by the frozen stream, kind and empty, unable to remember his own name, while a very small nisse who once cooked porridge for him watches and says nothing. To save him, Liv must find out who has been taking the keepers, and why the Agency has spent a century pretending nothing happened.

What she finds beneath a locked manor house will change everything she believes about the Agency, about mercy, and about how late a life can begin.
