Siri Pettersen is a Norwegian author of young adult fantasy fiction, born October 28, 1971, in Finnsnes, Norway. She grew up in Sørreisa and Trondheim and now lives in Oslo. Trained as a graphic designer, Pettersen began her creative career making comics, including the series Anti-Klimaks and Kråkene (The Crows), before turning to prose fiction in the mid-2000s. She is best known for The Raven Rings trilogy, published in Norwegian between 2013 and 2015 as Odin's Child, The Rot, and The Might, a dark fantasy series notable for its setting without dragons, elves, or established Tolkien-derived tropes. She later wrote the standalone novel Bubble (2017) and the Vardari series, beginning with Iron Wolf (2020) and continuing with Silver Throat (2023). Pettersen's work has earned significant recognition in Scandinavia, including the Sproing Award for best newcomer in 2004, the Norwegian Fabelprisen for Odin's Child in 2014, and both the Havmannprisen and a major Norwegian bookstore chain's Book of the Year award for The Might in 2015. The Raven Rings trilogy has been translated into more than thirteen languages and was optioned for film adaptation by Maipo Film, the Norwegian production company behind Kon-Tiki.
