Imagine lacking something that everyone else has.
Something that proves you belong to this world. Something so vital that without it, you are nothing. A plague. A myth. A human.
Fifteen winters old, Hirka learns that she is an Odin's child—a tailless rot from another world. Despised. Dreaded. Hunted. She no longer knows who she is, and someone wants to kill her to keep it a secret. But there are worse things than humans, and Hirka is not the only creature to have broken through the gates…
Odin's Child is a unique fantasy with Norse roots, written by "Norway's Fantasy Queen," Siri Pettersen. An epic clash of xenophobia, blind faith, and the right or will to lead. The first in a trilogy, Odin's Child is a thrilling modern fantasy epic.

Julie F, Reviewer
At the age of fifteen Hirka discovers she is Odin’s Child which explains why she has no tail. She is to be feared if discovered as she can bring The Blind into the realm and that means death. Brilliant book one of the Raven Rings trilogy.
Very well written and narrated novel (I listened to the audiobook). Great strong characters with depth. Loved the personalities in this well paced
, action packed fantasy novel. A thrilling book, full of action, adventure, fights, ravens, faith, leadership and fear for the future. Highly recommend.
