comment
The Legend of the Ice People (Sagaen om Isfolket) is a Norwegian book series of 47 novels by Margit Sandemo that chronnicles the story of the eponymous family, the Ice People, from the late 16th century to the early 20th.The Ice People is no ordinary family. They are the descendants of Tengel the Evil, who it is said sold his soul to The Devil and cursed his descendants in the act. At least one in every generation is afflicted with Tengel the Evil's curse, and can do magic, but must often fight an evil within themselves. The story starts in 1581 Norway, where a young woman, Silje, meets one of the afflicted.Most of the books are romances, with the fantastical Myth Arc taking a backseat in some books, while being a primary element of others.

comment
Driven to Suicide: The fate of the witch hunter from the second book. Invoked by Sol, who used her magic to make him want to die. Ironically enough, Sól much later ends up suicidal herself and gives herself up to the witch hunters to die in the way she feels would befit her best. Mikael, who suffers from "melancholia" (in modern terms, depression), attempts suicide at the end of the ninth book (The Lonely One). He survives the attempt, however.

comment
Obviously Evil: Partially deconstructed, but sometimes played straight. Tengel the Good is always assumed to be evil because of his looks and lineage, but isn't, as the name suggest. Even those afflicted with the evil nature of the curse along with the ugliness usually have some good in them. Old Hanna, who is often used as a prime example of the curse, cared a lot about Sol and Liv. Played straight with Kolgrim.

Death by Childbirth
 The Legend of the Ice People / int_d29a6629
comment
Death by Childbirth: Common for the Ice People. Tengel the Good's mother died from giving birth to him, because of his enormous shoulders. This trait is another reason for his Vow of Celibacy; he doesn't want to cause another woman to die the same way. Sunniva dies the same way as Tengel's mother when giving birth to Kolgrim. Tarjei's wife, Cornelia, dies from childbirth, despite giving birth to an ordinary child with a highly trained physician at her side.
