A Magical Journey for Those Who’ve Always Felt Just a Little Out of Place
Silver Book Award Winner
Just shy of her eighteenth birthday, Ariessy—or Essy to those close to her—is navigating the complexities of life as a Seiva, a magical being tasked with protecting Mother Earth. While working at a school to help young Seivar hone their sorcery, she’s haunted by her father’s mysterious illness and struggling to keep pace with her unique responsibilities. But when the death of a close family friend sets off a cascade of startling revelations, Essy’s world is turned upside down as she uncovers long-buried truths about her family and those she thought she could trust.
Forced to confront a newly discovered health condition that threatens to change her life forever, Essy must come to terms with her limits and accept the parts of herself that make her different. Hale’s steady presence should be a comfort, but instead, he only complicates Ariessy’s desire for freedom, sparking tension—and something deeper—between them.
As she grapples with her place in a world where the ancient Seivar and the mysterious Veurrulfar—wolf-shifters who live secretly alongside humans—keep a delicate balance of power, Essy’s journey reveals the beauty and strength in embracing one’s own vulnerabilities. Set against the captivating backdrop of the Welsh countryside and steeped in Norse mythology, Ariessy of Midgard is a spellbinding tale of identity, self-acceptance, and courage.
With its blend of myth and magic, unexpected romance, and the pulse of a young woman on the brink of adulthood, L.B. Arthur’s Ariessy of Midgard is an emotional, immersive fantasy adventure that will captivate young adult readers and fantasy lovers alike.
"It truly is a wonderful book, particularly for older young adults looking for a strong-minded and relatable MC, excellent pacing, and plenty of suspense. Loved it!" - Wishing Shelf review.

About The Author
L.B.Arthur
Meet L.B. Arthur, an author whose debut novel, Ariessy of Midgard, is practically dripping with Norse mythology, all thanks to a hearty Swedish heritage.
Having spent time in London’s emergency services and working with kids, Arthur conjures a world where magical beings gifted by Norse gods blend into society, sneaky as you please.
Arthur also moonlights as a children’s book co-author alongside Callum, raising awareness about autism and the real-life quests parents and kids go through.
When not penning tales of gods and creatures, Arthur can be found chilling with family or strolling Kent’s stunning coastlines, probably plotting the next chapter in life’s epic saga.
