In modern-day Iceland, a place of glaciers, volcanoes, and legends, the Norns have foretold a sorcerous invasion that could destroy everything.
MAGN S, an elf of the hulduf lk, is driven by the murder of his human lover a century ago to save those humans he can, and to figure out what is behind recent troll attacks on tourists. But the Norns have spoken. He must protect ALTAIR, a young human from Boston, who is bringing a dangerous magical force to Iceland. If Magn s fails to keep Altair safe, the country will fall to a sorcerer called the Black Priest. Yet if Altair lives, Magn s will meet his doom.
For his part, Altair is a graduate student bullied to visit Iceland by mentors who seem to have their own agenda. He knows nothing of elves, sorcerers or prophecies. Suddenly, the handsome, mysterious Magn s is guiding Altair around Reykjavik and into danger. A witch, a berserker, and more elves are along for the quest across Iceland's forbidding landscape. And why does everyone keeps calling Altair "the Falcon"?
An elf and a human with a shared destiny. Will they solve the mystery linking their fates before it is too late for all Iceland?
