What used to be Antarctica is no more. Shifted to the equator, the continent, now known as Antarktos, has thawed and bloomed. Endless ice has given way to lush tropical jungles, and all the people now living here are protected and led by Solomon Ull Vincent, the Last Hunter and King of Antarktos. My father. Ive been told that all the creatures of Antarktos, exotic and untamed, howled at the moment of my birth. If that wasnt intimidating enough, Ive also been told that I was born to be a hunter, that the blood coursing through my veins destined me to fight mankinds most ancient enemy-the Nephilim, half-human, half-demon monsters determined to exterminate humanity. My older sister, Aquila, thinks it all sounds glorious, but I dont want it. Any of it. I prefer charcoals and a drawing pad to my Norse hammer. So I choose to ignore the stories. My heritage terrifies me. But when Aquila is kidnapped and dragged to the underworld to be broken and corrupted, our guardian, Zuh, is severely wounded and my father isnt there to save them-Im the only one who can. From the monster-filled caves beneath Antarktos to the halls of Valhalla, I must embrace my heritage, face the fears that hold me hostage and save my sister before she kills our father. To save my family, and Antarktos, I must become a hunter, or perhaps something more... My name is Norah Kainda Vincent, the Last Valkyrie. This is how my story begins. International bestselling author, Jeremy Robinson, is joined by his youngest co-author ever, Tori Paquette, as they delve into the dark and mysterious world of Antarktos, hailed as the new continent of terror, by New York Times bestselling author James Rollins. Praised by action-adventure and thriller greats such as Steve Berry, Jeff Long, Steve Alten, Stel Pavlou and Scott Sigler, the Antarktos Saga continues in The Last Valkyrie, uncovering dark secrets, sinister evils and the true strength of a young woman.
