Red-haired girls Anne’s age have been found strangled with the rune ansuz craved into their backs.
Then with the scene set the story takes off. She also meets Varnar, who is Tall, Dark and Broody, a school caretaker in training, and has a Mysterious and Secret Past (so obviously he is the Love Interest). On her first day Anne meets and is befriended by Mathias, who unknowingly is a demi-god Luna, who unknowingly is a witch and the local innkeeper Frank, who no one (not even our psychic main character) knows is a murderer. As you can imagine, this is not the best start to the school year. In fact on her first day of school, she dreams about the gruesome murder of a red-haired girl. This ability is more a curse than a blessing, as it inhibits her ability to interact with other people. Anne has visions of the past and sees other people’s auras. However, Anne is not an ordinary troubled youth she is a psychic, troubled youth. Now she is starting gymnasium (roughly equivalent to high school) without any great hopes for the future. The main character Anne has returned to her hometown after being placed in various foster homes and institutions for troubled youths. Ravnenes hvisken book 1 is just over 700 pages long and has an extensive gallery of characters, so I’ll do my best to sum it up as concisely as possible. (Spoilers for Ravnenes hvisken book 1 below the cut) I read the first two books closely together, but my opinion of each book differ wildly. The trilogy mixes the ordinary everyday world with Norse mythology and magic. Ravnenes hvisken (eng: The Whisper of the Ravens) by Malene Sølvsten is a Nordic Fantasy Noir YA trilogy, the third book is as of yet unpublished.
