In the big northern mountain realm, the arctic foxes live in freedom and harmony, led by the wise and respected white fox, Fale. But their peaceful life comes to a brutal end when Fale’s youngest son, Frejo, one night witnesses a strange red aurora overtaking the starry sky. It is a sign of dark times ahead, and when Fale sets off the next morning to meet the leader of the red foxes for a negotiation for the land and food assets, Frejo realizes that something terrible is about to happen.

Frejo is neither the strongest nor the bravest of the young arctic foxes. He feels safest at home with his best friend Ruut, far from the dangers that lurk beyond their hill. But when his father disappears, he is forced onto a dangerous journey with his older, bolder siblings, Jåkk and Viddja, a journey that proves long and full of doubts. Is the mysterious snowy owl Helvi a friend or foe? Can the talkative lemming Pikko be trusted? What is that shadow that follows them? Will they make it in time?

To save his father, and the future of the arctic foxes, Frejo must find the courage within himself. But will he dare to become who he is meant to be before it’s too late?

The Northern Lights is the first installment in The Tale of Frejo, with vibrant illustrations by Johan Leion and packed with action and cliffhangers that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
