Valde's Christmas - The Guardian of the Forest

Valde tries to persuade his parents to take over the farm instead of selling it, but it doesn't go as planned. A meeting with a mysterious girl leads him on the trail of a family secret that may have something to do with the Egebjerggård forest.

Valde gets help from Anker to search for the mysterious girl out in the forbidden forest. But instead they find the ancient Mother Tree in the middle of the forest. It pulls Valde high, high up into the Mother Tree's crown, all the while a pair of yellow eyes keep an eye on him from the forest floor.

The girl from the forest shows up at school to Valde's surprise. At home, Rita builds another elf trap to try to catch Rang, but she catches something much bigger, setting her on a new Christmas mission. Deep in the forest, a dangerous fog spreads.

The mysterious mist of the Bog Queen causes problems at Egebjerggård. Anker's large-scale project 'Cool December' is challenged by Valde's retreat into the forest. At the foot of the Mother Tree, Tala tells the myth of the Guardian of the Forest and shows Valde how much more is at stake than meets the eye.

The hunt begins for the Guardian's seal, but Tala in wolf form has been seen by Hermansen on the edge of the forest, and this causes problems. To hide her, Valde comes up with a plan, and with the help of Anker, he tries to persuade his mother to let Tala live at Egebjerggård.

Valde and Tala are determined to go up to Grandpa's locked attic, which means a big day of truancy. But it requires help from both a 'pixie' and Tala's wolf senses. But is there anything in the attic besides dust and old boxes?

Valde and Tala go to the school library to find the Guardian's Book. Here they get unexpected help from the substitute teacher Ulla, who turns out to know a lot more about the magic of nature than most. But most importantly, Ulla knows who wrote the book they are looking for.

Valde and Tala must escape their elf duties at the Christmas market to find the Guardian's Book out in the forest. Here Valde meets Rang for the first time, who is not the only thing that has been waiting for them out in the forest, and soon the Mist of the Bog Woman comes crawling towards them.

Valde and Tala cunningly try to get Morten's help to decipher some cryptic old writing, and it leads them on the trail of the mysterious 'K'. At the Christmas market, Theis walks into the biggest elf trap Rita has ever built: a room with lots of mistletoe - and Solveig.

Valde hatches a plan to find out what his mother knows about the mysterious 'K', and who he might be. Tala becomes an unexpected part of project 'Cool December' when she is invited to join Celine's dance group, even though she has never danced anywhere other than alone in the woods.
