The year is 1026. In a stormy fjord in Western Norway, young Eirik is appointed guardian of an ancient secret. Equipped with a special garment and a silver pin shaped like a raven's head, he must take his oath: He must keep silent forever, leave his loved ones, and hide the secret where no one will ever look. When hostile longships cut through the fog, Eirik must flee into the unknown with a legacy that must never fall into the wrong hands. A thousand years later, a freight train rolls quietly out of Bergen Station in the morning light. In the restricted area, six silent people oversee the loading of a dark, ancient oak chest. They are the modern guardians, and their mission is unchanged. When past and present are woven together, an epic mystery is revealed that stretches through centuries of Norwegian history. How far is one willing to go to protect the truth? Ronny Melkevik delivers an intense historical thriller about duty, betrayal, and a secret that has survived for a thousand years.
