History Literature / TheCircle

* OmniscientMoralityLicense: The protectors consider themselves to have this. The Chosen Ones do not always agree.

* ElementalPowers: Though more often as themes than as direct ElementalManipulation (though that happens too). For instance, the element of Earth grants "strength of [[CharmPerson mind]] and [[SuperStrength body]]," Metal is the element of seers and psychics, and Water grants telepathic powers.

* ElementalPowers

* {{Invisibility}}: Vanessa's primary power.

* AntiClimaxBoss: In the first two books, the final showdown with the demons' champion is a long, dangerous battle. In the third book, the demons' final champion was one of the most powerful witches alive even before being blessed, he's been grabbing every power he could get to along the way while pursuing the Chosen Ones, and it's stressed that his blessing is the strongest one ever. [[spoiler: Minoo [[CurbStompBattle eats his soul in a single gulp]].]]

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In The Circle, in the heat of the moment, [[spoiler: Minoo tells Ida that she wants her to be the next to die. In Fire, Ida actually is the third Chosen One to die.]]

*** The Malmsten couple acts like this for [[spoiler:Olivia]].

* KnightTemplar: The demons. Also the Council as a whole, though individual members run the gamut from semi-ReasonableAuthorityFigure ([[spoiler: Adriana]]) to CompleteMonster (Walter).

* KnightTemplar: The demons

* EvenEvilHasStandards / TakeThat: The Council is plenty elitist and big on might-makes-right, but the other Council witches still mock Felix for reading ''AtlasShrugged'' (and the fact that he does is an early hint that he's insecure and not as powerful as the others).

The novel takes place in a fictional rural town in Bergslagen in central Sweden and follows a group of six teenage girls, Minoo Falk Karimi, Rebecka Molin, Anna-Karin Nieminen, Ida Holmström, Vanessa Dahl and Linnéa Wallin. They have little in common until they discover that they all are witches [[TheChosenOne chosen to save the world]] from an [[EldritchAbomination otherworldly evil]]. The authors have cited ''Series/TwinPeaks'', ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and ''{{Series/Supernatural}}'' as some of their main influences. The book was quite a big success in Sweden, being nominated for the prestigous annual literature prize "Agustpriset" in the young adult category. It has been sold in over 20 other countries. A film adaptation was announced but was halted due to [[ExecutiveMeddling conflicts]] between the authors and the production company Filmlance, who wanted to make certain changes to the script that the authors felt uncomfortable about. As of 2013, this has cleared up as Benny Andersson (of ABBA fame) has stepped in and bought the rights from Filmlance. The film will be directed by Levan Akin, with a script by Levan Akin and Sara Bergmark Elfgren. Filming is expected to start in early 2014, with a tentative release date of 2015.
