The Blackbird’s Song

Gro Furrevik

When two women with ties to a rising political star disappear, the case leads back to the war-torn Balkans and to the secrets that refuse to die. In The Blackbird’s Song, war trauma and psychological suspense intertwine on Norway’s dark and rain-soaked west coast. Psychiatrist Carmen Wiese, a newly appointed profiler in the Bergen police, is drawn into an investigation that challenges both her professional integrity and her sense of self. At the same time, Victoria Valkendorf, a privileged mother hiding a secret from her time as a soldier in Kosovo, feels her carefully built life begin to unravel. As the investigation unfolds, disturbing connections emerge between Norway and the chaos of post-war Kosovo, where crime and power fed on human suffering. For Carmen and Victoria, confronting the past becomes a question of survival and of how far we will go for truth, justice, and forgiveness. Rich in atmosphere and psychological depth, The Blackbird’s Song explores guilt, responsibility and moral courage across generations and borders. It’s a haunting, character-driven thriller about how the shadows of history still shape the present and how silence can be the most dangerous form of complicity. The title refers to Kosovo’s name, which means blackbird in Serbian an echo from the medieval “Field of the Blackbird,” where history and myth still haunt Europe’s collective memory. "Provides insight into several themes rarely encountered in this genre (...) Interesting, but also exciting – as it should be (...) A successful narrative approach, and well balanced."Samtiden

Ishita Barua

Europe's Innovation Crisis: An Existential Threat Once a scientific epicenter, Europe now lags as the US and China dominate the high-stakes race in AI and groundbreaking technology, shaping a new global economy and power balance. While Europe possesses the talent and research, our innovations too often remain in labs, unlike the tech giants building future platforms elsewhere. This isn't merely an innovation crisis; it's an existential one. Failure to close this gap threatens European welfare, independence, and influence. As KI researcher Ishita Barua argues, the future is being written now, but not necessarily by us.

Oh, what joy!

Mari Andreassen

Nominated for the Brage Prize and the Youth Critics’ Award for her debut How Long Do We Last, Mari Andreassen returns with a luminous novel about youth, friendship and first love set in a small coastal town near Tromsø in the 1990s. Do you remember? The fumbling hands, the smell of cheap perfume and bad breath. Slow dances. Notes passed across the classroom. Vodka and orange juice. The first kiss, the first heartbreak. The friends who carried you through it and the ones who didn’t. This is the story of a circle of friends growing up in the north: Ajjo with a scar from a fishing hook, Krissa with the gap-toothed grin, Ørjan in his army cap and June and Petter, whose love burns brightest of all. Now, decades later, Petter is forty-five, divorced, and struggling to connect with his teenage son. When he attends the funeral of his old teacher, memories surge back with disarming force – of friendship, desire, shame and the moment everything changed. Told with tenderness, warmth and piercing honesty, this is a radiant portrait of adolescence, that fleeting time when we feel everything for the first time, and think it will last forever. «... a tiny miracle.»KLASSEKAMPEN «A solid novel about being stuck in the past, about loneliness in adulthood, about first love and a teenage body that howls with longing.»DAGBLADET

Two Little Knights and a Princess in Love

Bjørn F. Rørvik

Two little knights are in England to celebrate the Queen's centenary. Not because any of them want to, but because Rosebush and Bang are going on their annual trip, and the King has asked (more like ordered) them to bring Princess Begonia with them. Begonia really doesn't want to go to the centenary, but the King is desperate to keep her away from the crooner Snubbe Karlsson. Begonia is head over heels for him, and the King is not happy about it. How that became Rosebush and Bang's problem is a question neither of them can answer, but the mission is unchanged: They must bring Begonia on their annual trip, keep her happy and avoid any embarrassing scenes. It's a mission that's doomed to fail.

The Holy Trinity

Trond Bakkevig

The belief in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – three in one and one in three – is a cornerstone of Christianity. Though difficult to grasp and describe, the interpretation of the Trinity has had profound and often violent consequences throughout history, extending even to the present day. Leaning on insights from philosophy, other religions, economics, politics, and psychology, Trond Bakkevig unravels this concept, revealing a surprisingly dramatic past. He convincingly demonstrates how the struggle over this fundamental theological principle can be traced in everything from the war in Ukraine to the EU's eastern border. This book draws long historical lines, showing how we are all part of a much larger story.

As Johanna digs deeper, she exposes a web of lies and hidden motives, where some are determined to keep the past buried. The novel blends climate change, social inequality, and village life into a psychological thriller, reminiscent of Liza Marklund's work. The Living Grave is a suspenseful psychological thriller with climate change, social inequality, and village life as a bleak backdrop, where the Western Norwegian village becomes a character in itself.

Weeds and Asphalt

Aon Raza Naqvi

A young rapper is going to get his own studio, and the way to get there goes through Larvik's underground environment. Weeds and Asphalt is the sequel to the critically acclaimed and award-nominated novel Angry Youth. Noh has found his crew: David on the DJ desk, Adam on vocals, Jonas as manager. Together they will conquer hip-hop Norway from Kongegata 1, Larvik's newly opened cultural center with a free studio. But when marijuana is discovered, the access to the studio is restricted and Noh's dream is in danger. The solution? Noh needs to raise 10,000 kroner – quickly. The plan is simple: sell marijuana, earn money, buy equipment, build a studio. But nothing in Larvik is easy when you're fifteen years old, live at home, have strict parents and a secret life that grows bigger every day. From the attic of Børre, the city's safe haven for beanies, to meetings with dealers, from desperate customers to dangerous credit purchases, Noh navigates life between school, sales and musician ambitions. While the rappers who inspire him live thug lives in American ghettos, Noh must find his own language in a Norwegian reality. What do you rap about when you grow up in the small city of Larvik? How do you stay true to art when your family argues about money, your father has three jobs, and morality becomes increasingly unclear? Weeds and Asphalt is a raw, warm and hilarious coming-of-age story about artist dreams and everyday crime. Blooming Weeds: "With Noh, Naqvi has created a youthful voice that both entertains and hits hard. Ugress og asfalt (Weeds and Asphalt) is funny, painful, and accomplished (...) a young adult novel that succeeds on multiple levels at once. Naqvi writes humorously and accessibly about substance abuse, racism, and alienation (...) What is most compelling, however, is the trust Naqvi places in both the character and the reader. (...) Weeds and Asphalt shows rather than tells, and that is precisely why it lingers long after the final page."BOK365, 6/6 stars
