The Spring Sacrifice
By Lars Mytting
Description
It is late March and pleasantly mild, though still with a hefty amount of snow, when lieutenant Aksel Størmer arrives in Messingdalen, the village that in pagan times sacrificed a human to ensure the arrival of spring. Aksel is set to decommission the old military camp of the area, but sparking a friendship with a neglected child instead entangles him in a tightly woven family drama.
Why does Chow Chow Inn turn quiet whenever he enters? Why does no one want to tell him what happened to Iver Tallaksen?
Gradually, the mysteries of the dark village, situated deep in the forest, reveal themselves. Soon Aksel finds himself close to people who demand greater bravery from him than the war he was supposed to be headed to.
