Produktbeschreibung

When the cold hand reaches southward,

reaches with its frozen fingers,

comes a child into the Northland,

all the clans to bring together.

As Löhi, the Witch of the North, unleashes war upon the Seven Clans of Iron-Age Finland, the famous wizard Väinämöinen leads a desperate effort to stop her. The great smith Ilmarinen kindles hope when he reforges the magical Sampo, the ancient Finns' most powerful totem. But only King Egan and Ulla-the Child of the Prophecy-can guarantee victory for their people.

Ulla sets out on the Trail for Singers, a wizard's life path, and Egan embarks on his own journey to become the heir of mighty Lemminkäinen, the last High King of the Far Northern Land. Drawn together by both love and destiny, the two young heroes vow to end Löhi's rampage, but neither can imagine the surprise that awaits at journey's end, which will change the Far Northern Land forever.

THE HEIR OF LEMMINKÄINEN, Book II of the Far Northern Land Saga, goes where no epic fantasy has gone before-Finnish mythology and the world of the Kalevala, where legendary heroes like the wizard Väinämöinen mix with original characters like Ulla and Egan to create a unique mosaic wholly new to fantasy literature.

Autorenporträt

David Allen Schlaefer is a diplomat, author, and globetrotter who started his life in tropical south Texas at the Mexican border and wound up 10,000 miles away in the snowy wonderland of Finland. Along the way, he's lived in Hong Kong and Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro and Bucharest, Kiev and Mexico, and served alongside the 3rd Brigade Combat Team in Iraq where he won a Commander's Award for Civilian Service. David's interest in all things Finnish began at a young age when he discovered the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic, and its stories about shamans, witches, warriors, and magic. He jumped at the opportunity to work at the US Embassy in Helsinki and study Finnish language and culture for almost five years. A member of the Kalevala Society and author of articles on the influence of the Finnish language and Kalevala on J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, David turned to the Far Northern Land Saga to bring Finnish myths to life for a new generation of fantasy fans.
