About this listen

Following a family tragedy and the discovery of a huge family secret, 16-year-old Jack and his quirky sister Emily must travel the Bifrost to a mythical realm called Sylvaheim. Here, they learn to conquer their deepest fears. Jack converses with a riddle-talking tree, battles a troll, dines with faeries, and falls in love with a water nymph named Ari.

Separated from Jack by a huge hedge of silver, their mother's life hangs in the balance. To save her family and reunite with her brother, 14-year-old Emily must find a mythical plant called silphium. As she traverses Sylvaheim with a clumsy warrior princess from Norse mythology, Emily symbolically "cuts" her own shadow, narrowly escapes from Merlin's cave, and makes a deal with the god of the underworld.

Featuring real-life themes reframed as mythic fantasy, Shadows of Sylvaheim is a truly unique audiobook. It may be used to generate classroom discussion, as part of counseling, or as a stand-alone audiobook for youth and older adults aged 15+.

The human journey in a mythical setting

Brilliant, this book takes you into the mythical world of Sylvaheim which really is a room were our imagination can fight its inner deamons. This story pulls you in deeper and deeper until you recognise yourself in the characters. I loved this story, Emily's fears and Jack running from his emotions. it should become a book that all teenagers should read at school. Thank you Toula for this it will help many.
