Haldor Falk, fierce warrior and powerful vitki blessed by the Goddess Freyja with the extraordinary ability to transform into a falcon, has been charged with forging Skjöld, grandson of King Harald Bluetooth, into a rugged warlord in the wild north of Norway. 

With his acolyte’s training now complete, Haldor intends to return to the Viking stronghold of Normandy. But when a vision reveals an imminent attack on a dwarf guarding a hidden treasure trove in a secret cave, Haldor and Skjöld gain Dwarven-forged weapons and an unexpected, invaluable ally.

Úlvhild, a völva of formidable seiðr magic and Haldor’s lover of nearly twenty winters, foresees that the Dökkálfar Dark Elves will strike to prevent the fulfillment of a prophecy. When the Norns unveil the terrible price of her fate, Úlvhild must confront a crimson-eyed witch to save her beloved Falcon and ensure that the prophesied Son of the Dragon fulfills his destined path. 

Between The Pages 

Falcon of the Faroe Islands delivers a sweeping and immersive conclusion to this Norse inspired trilogy. The novel is rich with threads of love, loyalty, and sacrifice that anchor the story and give it emotional weight. Rather than center on a single romance, the book explores several love stories that unfold across its pages. At the heart, Haldor Falk and Úlvhild remain a compelling element. Skjöld, the son of Skarde from book one, emerges as his journey toward becoming a formidable warrior is matched by his discovery of a destined love, adding another layer of depth to the narrative. The author’s command of the historical period is evident throughout. The worldbuilding feels both authentic and vividly imagined, placing the reader within the setting, capturing the grit of battle, the pulse of magic, and the quiet moments of fate unfolding. At its core, the story contends with the timeless struggle between good and evil. In a current world where conflict and darkness often dominate headlines, Falcon of the Faroe Islands offers a resonant reminder that courage endures, love persists, and destiny can still bend toward the light. A satisfying and meaningful finale to the trilogy.
