Rose was witness to a dark Norse ritual the night before she died. What does the main suspect know?
Lena Ekström’s investigation widens as Lars’ story starts to unravel, revealing rituals, runes and the unsettling culture behind Valborg Academy. Clues begin to point toward Asgaard’s founders, and a call from Echo Terra deepens the corporate and political stakes around Rose’s death.
Meanwhile, a return to her childhood haunts, and a resurfacing trauma, threatens Lena’s composure just as the case takes a sharp turn. When she and Aksel track a lead to a secluded cabin, they make a shocking discovery that rips the investigation open. Wolf Valley’s shadows are lengthening, and Lena is being pulled further in than ever before.
The third episode of a propulsive Nordic noir ecothriller in which ancient beliefs and modern conspiracies converge within an isolated Nordic valley.
