Offspring: Firesoul Wanted by Kolbrún Björt Sigfúsdóttir
FIRESOUL WANTED by Kolbrún Björt Sigfúsdóttir
Kirstin likes cod and potatoes. Nothing else. Outside is violence but she knows Daniel has to work. It’s okay. It’s okay as long as he brings back cod and potatoes. As long as he comes back. When she sees an advertisement for a Firesoul in the paper she feels the pull. Could she be the one they are looking for?
