Tove, a painter on holiday with her family, has spiraled into a psychosis that stirs her into a flurry of unbridled creativity. Geir, a policeman who has been investigating a grisly triple murder, comes to a sinister revelation he must keep to himself. Nineteen-year-old Line falls in love with the lead singer of a metal band and is lured into a secret and frightening world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut most bewildering, and disquieting, is the discovery made by Syvert, an undertaker: since the star has appeared, no one has died.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Third Realm\u003c\/i\u003e, Karl Ove Knausgaard returns to the spellbinding world of \u003ci\u003eThe Morning Star\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Wolves of Eternity\u003c\/i\u003e, as a cast of new and familiar characters continue to reckon with the meaning of this star. What is haunting them, and why?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs supernatural forces collide with the mundanities of the everyday, and the threshold between life and death becomes diffuse, people are forced to live their lives as before while the world around them slowly changes in inexplicable ways. Piercing through human existence into the bestial and phantasmagorical, Knausgaard flings open the gates to our most distressing neuroses and forces us to ask: What happens if the dark forces in the world are set free?\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eKARL OVE KNAUSGAARD’s first novel, \u003ci\u003eOut of the World\u003c\/i\u003e, was the first ever debut novel to win the Norwegian Critics’ Prize and his second, \u003ci\u003eA Time for Everything\u003c\/i\u003e, was widely acclaimed.
