Summary:

The action takes place in a few days in late August. Professor of literature Arne and artist Tove are with their children at the resort in Sørlandet. Their friend, the rich man's son Egil, is in a cabin nearby. The pastor Kathrine is on her way home from a seminar, the kindergarten assistant Emil is rehearsing with his band, the journalist Jostein is out on the town, his wife Turid who is an assistant nurse has a night shift. Above them and everyone else, a huge star suddenly appears in the sky. No one, not even the astronomers, knows for sure what kind of phenomenon it is. Is there a star burning out? Why then has no one seen it before? Or is it a brand new star? The interest in the news slowly settles, and life goes on, but not quite as before, for unusual phenomena begin to occur on the fringes of human existence. "The Morning Star" is a novel about what we do not understand, about the great drama seen through the limited lens of small life. But first and foremost, it is a novel about what happens when the dark forces in the world are set free.
