A.S.P.E. 5: DOMMEDAGSBJERGENE – A.S.P.E. 5: THE MOUNTAINS OF DOOM

By Mette Finderup

WHEN ALIN’S MOTHER died, Alin was sold to a cruel slave trader. Since then, she has become the A.S.P.E. group’s tough swordswoman. But she has never forgotten the man who sold her. Now she wants revenge, and together with her friends, she sets out to find him. It won’t be easy, because the man is a major in an army stationed behind the deadly Doomsday Mountains, and inside the mountains lives a hostile dwarf people. The dwarves have a reputation for being as hard and harsh as the rock itself, and they hate almost everything – but most of all they hate humans …

A.S.P.E. IS A fast-paced fantasy series for children aged 10–13, filled with magic, friendship, and slightly-too-dangerous adventures.

THE SORCERESS has gathered four orphaned children—Alin, Silvius, Pilo, and Ene—to train them in the classic virtues and shape them into a true adventure group. Alin wields a sword, Silvius struggles to master magic, Pilo sharpens his aim with a bow, and Ene moves silently through shadows, picking locks and secrets alike. One day they may become legendary heroes—but for now, they are still just children, learning to trust one another while being thrown headfirst into perilous quests.

INSPIRED BY TABLETOP role-playing games and illustrated with affectionate nods to classic 1980s sword-and-sorcery fantasy, the A.S.P.E. books combine humor, action, and imagination. Each volume is a self-contained story that can be read independently, making the series easy to enter at any point. With 16 books planned, A.S.P.E. offers an expansive fantasy world that invites both young readers and older fantasy fans to join the adventure. Illustrated in black and white by Christian Guldager.
