Fallon's Hope

As prophesied in the Book of Morrigan, the Fallonese prosper from the unique and magical properties of the ancient and enduring Fallon River, a gift from their goddess to compensate her children for the loss of their homeland. The Book of Morrigan warns of a time when evil will attempt to seize and pollute the river, leaving the Fallonese to die, except for the intervention of one born to fight the wickedness of Queen Hulda and her coven of witches. Mikael Sveinson, a peasant boy of Fallon, rebels against his elders' insistence that he is the chosen one. He must accept himself before he can comprehend the immensity of the fight before him. The rich and accurate depiction of Viking tradition in Fallon's Hope lends authenticity to this tale of Mikael Sveinson, who is pushed to a precipice of losing his life, his home, his mate and his river.
