Seventeen year old Anne can see events from the past and has a horrible vision one night: She sees a red-haired girl being murdered and a rune-mark being left on her body by the murderer. Shortly after, the bodies of girls with red hair and the same rune-mark start to be found around the village. All of a sudden Annes smalltown in North Jutland is crowded with strangers and mystical powers, looking for Anne: the Asen-believer Luna, the very attractive Mathias and the mysterious Varnar. But who can be trusted? To save the world from Ragnarok, Anne has to find the murderer – before he finds her.
