«Blodøye» is a historical novel by Giles Kristian, published by Vega in paperback (383 pages, in Norwegian).
In ninth-century England, Osric is a boy marked by his blood-red eye and a past shrouded in mystery, living apart in Abbotsend. When the Northmen raid the village, the chieftain Sigurd takes him prisoner; convinced that the Norns have woven the boy's fate with his own, he admits him into his brotherhood. Osric thus discovers his warrior instinct and becomes Ravn.
