We’re delighted to share that The Crown of Dreams (Eternal Winter #2) by Niilo Sevänen has hit the shelves and is already off to a wow-worthy start: the title scored a glowing review on Savon Sanomat newspaper, with the reviewer stating that”If you were to make a belittling assessment, you could say that Sevänen writes fantasy literature of international caliber”.
The Crown of Dreams is the second instalment in the Eternal Winter series, one of the most anticipated fantasy titles on the Finnish literary scene. The adventure whisks the reader into a complex world that feels real and draws from medieval history, superbly combining mythologies from different regions with the imagined. As the narrative unfolds, themes of loss, identity, and the tension between humanity and the supernatural emerge.
Niilo Sevänen (b.1979) has studied literature and cultural history at the University of Turku. His first novel The Path of Eternal Winter was one the most eagerly anticipated fantasy novels in 2024, and the narrative will continue in a trilogy. Before these novels, Sevänen published an awarded fantasy short story, ‘Winter’s Gate’, which appeared in a new form in 2023 and immediately became a success. Sevänen is also a singer, bassist, composer and lyricist in the group Insomnium, a melodic death metal band. His novels are published in Finland by Gummerus.
Warm congratulations to the author and the publisher, and don’t miss out on this title!
