The third novel in global bestseller Knausgaard's astonishing new Morning Star series. Experience a major literary universe in the making...

The Morning Star kept readers up all night, immersed with nine characters whose individual lives are heightened by the sudden appearance of a blazing new star. The Wolves of Eternity, set between Norway and Russia, is an intimate journey into the experiences of two estranged half-siblings in the decades before the star rises. Now, in The Third Realm, the effects of the star are felt around the world, as people start to reckon with what it might possibly mean.

Shapeshifting visitors, unsolved murders in the forest, black metal bands and an online bank of thousands of people's dreams - the star is back, and the limitless scale and ambition of Karl Ove's new universe is clear. This is life, death, the human condition, and the opportunity to bring readers in on the real-time creation of an epic and utterly immersive world.

Reviews for The Third Realm

As throughout the series, Knausgaard is using everyday people to explore knotty questions about God’s existence, our need for spiritual connection, and the fine line between religious devotion and mental illness . . . Readers who come to this book first will find an entertaining story about people sorting through spiritual, domestic, and emotional confusion. But those who’ve read the prior novels will get a deeper sense of just how fascinating, frustrating, and unknowable we can be to each other, and the consequences of that disconnection. * Kirkus (starred review) * I read The Morning Star compulsively, and stayed awake all night after finishing it -- Brandon Taylor, on The Morning Star Brilliant storytelling... Epic *  Independent, on The Morning Star * Grippingly crafted storytelling... prose that is keenly aware of the value of suspense and surprise... [The Morning Star] has that beguiling, elusively compulsive quality that Knausgaard seems to have made his own. * Observer, on The Morning Star * [An] enormously compelling book… The range of subjects The Wolves of Eternity explores is fascinating * Sunday Times, on The Wolves of Eternity *
