Arkin is a beautiful portal fantasy series where dreams come true, where loneliness and longing saves lives, and where the smallest person casts the biggest shadow. Arkin is a lonely, creatively gifted and anxious boy who has always felt like an outsider, and since the death of his mother, loneliness threatens to devour him completely. Everything changes one day, when a mysterious older caretaker at his school leaves him with a strange riddle. As the clever Arkin solves the riddle, a magical world unravels before him.

The Arkin series, planned to be six instalments, is a stunningly illustrated epic for children and adults ages 8 and up. The first four books in the series, The Secret, The Hope, The Light are already published, and book five, The Monster is planned for autumn 2025.
