The author duo talks about the Nordmark trilogy, the first part of which, Nattavaara, was published in 2020, and the second part, Armasjärvi, was recently released.
The Nordmark trilogy is set in the near future, where pandemics and climate disasters have torn society apart. Norrbotten has broken away from Sweden and is ruled by an Earl who is losing his grip. In the countryside, there is a famine and the inhabitants are fighting hard to survive. But in the shadows of a police state, resistance thrives.
