The Morning Star kept readers up all night, immersed with nine characters whose individual lives are heightened by the sudden appearance of a blazing new star. The Wolves of Eternity, set between Norway and Russia, is an intimate journey into the experiences of two estranged half-siblings in the decades before the star rises. Now, in The Third Realm , the effects of the star are felt around the world, as people start to reckon with what it might possibly mean. Shapeshifting visitors, unsolved murders in the forest, black metal bands and an online bank of thousands of people''s dreams - the star is back, and the limitless scale and ambition of Karl Ove''s new universe is clear. This is life, death, the human condition, and the opportunity to bring readers in on the real-time creation of an epic and utterly immersive world.
