I read this book around 5 years ago.
I believe it had runestones on the cover the exact kind of material the runes were on I'm not sure and may be remembering wrong. The book is has two main characters, one male and one female
the main character is a descendant of a viking(?) and is taken in by his evil uncle(?) alongside the girl(I forget the exact relation) they are taught nordic(?) runes by the uncle and how to carve them.
a ritual is done which allows them to leave their body in a spirit form, the boys spirit form was either a hawk or eagle and the girl was possibly a fox(?).
eventually the boy goes through another ritual and finds out he is also a descendant of a werewolf(berserker?) and his spirit form changes to that of a wolf.
while in spirit form your body is in a comatose state and if you lose your body you can remain stuck like that forever.
Eventually a pursuit occurs and his uncle(?) makes sure people find his body while he is in spirit form, he manages to get back to his body after its put in a hospital.
Eventually kills his uncle(?) if I recall right.
Please help me find this book.
