  Summary

  She's a little different, but aren't we all? Being different and weird is a good thing in the modern world
  . . .
  According to Elverhøy —  which also happens to be in a fantasy world set between the 1500s and 1700s —  that is definitely NOT allowed. It is seen as a disgrace and a burden to have someone who in any way differs from the norms. People can end up in jail or even secretely executed for it.

  Enter Aerin Vaelora, who is probaly one of the least normal people in the town of Elverhøy.

  Join me in the journey to see how she manages in such a town, and if it'll cause problems at some point (spoiler alert: IT WILL)
