A battle with the underworld!
16-year-old Minja lives with her mother. Minja is unnaturally strong, but she tries to hide it just as she tries to hide her shining moon eyes. Minja has always wanted a grandmother, but her mother doesn’t want to hear anything about that. While her mother is on holiday Minja decides to visit her grandmother who lives in a small village. Grandma’s nothing like Minja had imagined, and she refuses to have anything to do with her.
The village holds many secrets, and Minja is pulled towards the forests and mountains. Eventually she understands why she is so strong, and why her eyes are shining. She is a fourth part forest nymph, also known as Hulder. Minja is dragged into a battle against the underworld. They want her back where nymphs belong. Minja is torn between two worlds. And when her best friend Joseph disappeared she has a big decision to make. Because Minja knows that if you go into the mountains, you will never return.
