The Heir of Lemminkainen - The Far Northern Land Saga

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.
