A.S.P.E. 6: MERCHANTS OF DEATH

A.S.P.E. 6: DØDENS KØBMÆND – A.S.P.E. 6: MERCHANTS OF DEATH

By Mette Finderup

IN ONE OF the country’s most remote areas lives the wealthy merchant Hieronimus Leitergang. The children of A.S.P.E. suspect him of trading in demonic objects. But solid evidence is needed if such a powerful man is to be brought down…

THE FARM IS like a fortress, but A.S.P.E. gets unexpected help when they meet the merchant’s young niece. She has a constant feeling that something truly terrible is about to happen. And she is unable to escape because she is bound to the place by dark magic.

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.
