Whisper of the ravens, 1

""The girl's slim neck was exposed above the low neckline of her dress, and it glowed nearly white in the light of the moon. A stream of icy fear ran through my chest as the man grabbed the other end of the cord and held it taut before him. "Watch out," I shouted uselessly. She could not hear me, after all. I was not there, and this had already happened, maybe a few months ago, maybe hundreds of years." Anna is a loner who only hangs out with her dog Monster. She's used to others either dismissing her or looking right through her, but when high school starts back up, she's suddenly surrounded by classmates seeking her company. Why do good-looking Mathias, charming Luna, and alluring Varnar suddenly want to be friends with her? Can she trust them, or is there something behind it? Anna can see events in the past, but the dream-like visions suddenly become very real when a series of bestial muders of young girls take place in the area of northern Denmark where she lives. Murders that she has seen in her dreams. Anna soon learns the murders are linked to an ancient prophecy of Ragnarök and supernatural forces are at work because her new friends are directly connected to the Norse gods, and all carry a knowledge of who she really is" --, Page [4] of cover
