Book
Ansuz / Malene Sølvsten ; translated from the Danish by Adrienne Alair.
"A fantasy novel with Norse mythology as its basis. Anne can see events from the past, and one night she glimpses an old and horrible murder: a red-haired girl is killed and a rune is carved into her back. Shortly afterward, someone begins killing red-haired girls in the same manner, and the rune is found on all of them. Suddenly the little town is full of strangers. They have mysterious powers, and are drawn to Anne, who isn't used to being near other people. Several of the strangers want to help her, but it takes a long time before she knows which of them she can trust. Playing on such classic themes as good versus evil, the book is at once a fantasy, a crime novel, and a coming-of-age story filled with magic, mythology, and Norse mythology"-- Provided by publisher.

Anna can see events from the past, and one night she glimpses an old and horrible murder: a red-haired girl is killed and a rune carved into her back. Shortly afterward, someone begins killing red-haired girls in the same manner, and the rune is found on all of them. Suddenly the little town is full of strangers. They have mysterious powers, and are drawn to Anna, who isnât used to being near other people.
