Aslak Nore (born 1978) grew up in Oslo. Educated at the University of Oslo and the New School for Social Research in New York, he then served in Norway's elite Telemark Battalion in Bosnia. A modern-day adventurer, Nore has lived in Latin America and worked as a journalist in the Middle East and Afghanistan. He has published several non-fiction books and three novels, the last of which, Ulvefellen was a national bestseller and won the Riverton Prize for best crime novel in Norway in 2018. He lives in Provence, France.
A saga which revolves around the secrets of a large Norwegian family. The strength of its storytelling and its truly romantic energy make it a perfect example of an authentic page turner. * Livres Hebdo * This saga will delight fans of Succession and enchant readers fond of complex intrig ues The Scandinavians are still the kings of chills. * Elle * In literature as in espionage, everything is a matter of seduction . . . Enlightening and captivating * Liberation * A windswept, wave-tossed, altogether irresistible novel of literary suspense - part thriller, part romance, part wartime drama - that's fresh yet old-fashioned, as though The Da Vinci Code, The Shadow of the Wind and TV's Succession had been smoothly blended and poured over (fjord) ice. I truly didn't want it to end. -- A. J. Finn
