September 1st, 1997. Two children are born at Danderyd’s hospital. A boy and a girl who will grow up on each side of Sollentuna. Josef, with an immigrated single mother. Antonia, in a nuclear family in the upper middle class.

Over nearly three decades Pascal Engman portrays their lives in Sollentuna in his new trilogy The Clan. Two parts of the same municipality which equals two completely different worlds. Josef grows up in the immediate vicinity of the clan, the powerful Mansour family, who run Malmvägen and dictate the living conditions for the residents. But Antonia’s sheltered world also cracks, and their paths cross once more.

The Clan is an epic story about the growing gang criminality in Sweden during the 21st century. The drug trade, escalating violence, and constant fatal shootings are depicted from a number of individuals’ perspectives. The novel also explores honor-related violence, family relations, personal circumstances, and the love that tears down all walls.

May, 1436: The rebel leader Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson lies dead by the shores of Lake Hjälmaren, slain with an axe by Måns Bengtsson. The kingdom is collapsing. The throne is unoccupied, and those who can are gathering their strength to claim it: the bastard Erik Puke, once Engelbrekt’s closest ally, who has sworn an oath to serve the people’s best interests; Karl Bonde, a nobleman of cunning and wealth; Nils Stensson, called Nils Without Land, uncle to the murderer himself and the most driven among the great group of brothers who all bear shields of blue and gold.

Wolves at Play is the second part in Niklas Natt och Dag’s historical novel series about the dynasty that would become known as Natt och Dag, and the bloody power struggles that shaped medieval Sweden. Niklas Natt och Dag is the fifteenth-generation grandson of Måns Bengtsson.
