Soulbound Shadows
The legend of the house on Blackwood Hill loomed large in local folklore. For over 5 centuries, whispers of its dark history spread fear throughout Dollis Hill in Greater London. Known as “the Lady Kathrine Baker’s curse,” the story told of a widowed baker, Kathrine Baker Blackwood, who was accused of witchcraft after the mysterious deaths of several townsfolk. Falsely convicted, she was burned alive on her own property. Her dying curse promised vengeance on all who dared set foot in her home. The story of Soulbound Shadows follows a team of ghost hunters who venture into an ancient, haunted house shrouded in local legends of darkness and mystery. As they begin filming their Ghost hunting documentary, they encounter a series of eerie and inexplicable events that escalate into chilling confrontations with vengeful spirits.
Soulbound Shadows was produced in early 2024, featuring a talented cast of British actors, and released in 2025. The film’s soundtrack album, also titled Soulbound Shadows, was launched in 2024 and is currently streaming on major music platforms. The album has also gained airplay on several radio stations across the United States, reaching a growing audience with its haunting and atmospheric tracks.

The Background of my story: It took me six months to meticulously plan the battle scenes and immerse myself in learning about war strategies. I’ve been crafting the book since 2019, titled “The Battle of Hulders,” which is now in the process of being adapted into a film called “Elf and Huldra” by Golden Way Media Films, currently seeking financing.
“Elf and Huldra” is based on my epic fantasy novel, “The Battle of Hulders,” and serves as a continuation of my earlier film, “Huldra and Photographer,” produced in 2019. Proceeds from book sales will be allocated to fund and finance the production of the upcoming epic fantasy feature film, “Elf and Huldra,” presently in pre-production.
While the single book was published in 2023 and the trilogy is released this year in 2024, it actually took me several years to complete the entire series. The “Battle of Hulders” trilogy is available in multiple languages including French, German, Spanish, English, and Japanese.

Why did I choose to write this epic fantasy novel?
In 2019, I made a film titled “Huldra and Photographer,” in Trondheim, Norway which has been distributed worldwide to 175 countries. Inspired by the captivating tales surrounding the Huldra, I delved deeper into the essence of these ancient legends.
Driven by this fascination, I crafted a screenplay called “Elf and Huldra” and wrote this book, drawing upon the captivating essence of these ancient legends. Within the realms of my imagination, I have constructed a world centered on the enigmatic Huldra, weaving elements of fantasy, romance, and mysticism together to transport readers into a realm entirely of my own creation. Based on this unique epic fantasy I shaped a world and characters in my story. The sales generated from this book will be dedicated to funding and financing the production of my upcoming epic fantasy feature film, “Elf and Huldra,” currently in the pre-production stage at Golden Way Media Films company.
