A poor harvest. Four mouths to feed. A law that makes no exception for hunger.
Odd Haltfot knows it is wrong to steal, but his children's empty stares weigh heavier than shame. When he breaks into his neighbor's barn, he puts both his freedom and his life at stake. Soon the bloodstains lead his pursuers straight toward his home.
The Thief of Ravnvik portrays a world where community is essential, honor is fragile, and the law is harsh. An intense tale of a desperate choice and the consequences that follow.

About the book
Odd Haltfot's land has yielded little, and hunger threatens his family. Under cover of the autumn darkness, he breaks into Eystein Bredskulder's barn to steal a sack of oats.
The theft does not go as planned. Odd is discovered, wounded, and recognized. While the dogs follow the trail of blood through the forest, he tries to hide the grain at home with Gudrid and the children.
In Ravnvik the law weighs heavily, and the punishment for theft can be merciless. The Thief of Ravnvik is a historical novel about hunger, guilt, responsibility, and what a person might be willing to risk for family.
