Book One of the Gallovidiana series includes THE FROZEN HEART, KIRRUCHTREE and JANEK THE DEMON, which are gripping tales of magic, fantasy and adventure set long ago in the fictional land of Gallovidia when the old gods were leaving to make room for superstitious humans. THE FROZEN HEART is about a young girl who falls in love with a handsome young man who turns out to be the villain of the piece. Ortog the Ice Demon freezes the girl's heart and carries her off to his ice palace. She is saved by Sakabtu the legendary Snowbird, a few caring Wild Ones and the Master. KIRRUCHTREE is a forest of fear which 10 year-old Lisa and her grandfather come to when traveling down the long dangerous road to Gallovidia. The villain in this story is Old Targ the grey forest wolf, and the hero arrives in the form of the magical Lunbatu the Moonbird. JANEK THE DEMON is the last tale in this collection about a baby boy who is taken by a she-wolf named Tar-Khani. The she-wolf brings up baby Janek who grows to become leader of the pack.
