How far would you go to save the one you love most?
Set in modern-day Oslo, The Last Valkyrie is a pulse-pounding mix of enemies-to-lovers romance, Norse mythology and a deadly competition for wealth, fame, life and death.
Every girl in Oslo who turns 18 this year is invited to compete in the mysterious competition The Valkyrie. The prize is 3 million kroner, a sum that for Ava would change everything.
But joining the contest means declaring war on her powerful stepfamily — the ambitious twins Kamilla and Lukas. Their mother, Helene Threshow-Spilberg, is amongst Norway's wealthiest, and the twins are known to be ruthless in order to get what they want. The twins also team up with a stranger, someone whose connection to The Valkyrie runs deeper than he will admit. And he will stop at nothing to keep Ava out of the competition.
As the competition unfolds, Ava realises The Valkyrie is more than a contest. It’s a divine trial that could awaken forces older than time itself. To survive, she must solve the riddles of the Norse gods, uncover who her true allies are, and face the terrifying possibility that not all myths are fiction.
With the emotional depth of Twilight, the fierce survival energy of The Hunger Games and the secretive intrigue of The Da Vinci Code, The Last Valkyrie launches a new YA trilogy where epic love collides with Norse legend — blazing with mystery, passion, and power.
«Den siste valkyrie av Hanne Eik er ei svært spennande fantasy-bok for ungdom, som er vanskeleg å legge frå seg.»
«Spennande, klein og perfekt for ein 14-åring.»
«Er du glad i norrøn mytologi, er denne boka ein perfekt match for deg.»
«Den siste valkyrie et svært velkomment tilskudd til norsk fantasilitteratur. På sitt beste kan den måle seg med internasjonale konkurrenter.»
«Eik er på sitt beste i møte med det mytologiske stoffet. Det oppleves friskt å bli introdusert for mytologi vi kanskje ikke kjenner, og at boka tar oss rundt i Oslo og viser frem vår norrøne arv. Jeg blir sittende og slå opp kunstverkene og mytene som tas opp. Eik gir meg lyst til å vite mer.»
