Heirs of the Arctic
Nore, Aslak, 1978-2025
Book
December 2015. Six months after the revelations in a long-lost testament shook the Falck family to its core. Hans Falck, who had most to gain from the contentious will, lingers in a hospital bed in northern Norway, gravely injured in an accident. Meanwhile, Sasha Falck, who succeeded her father as the head of the family's foundation, is pushing for a research expedition to the Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic Sea. Yet there are reasons to be cautious - relations with Russia are strained, with Norway's old Cold War adversary reborn. The stakes are further raised when reports reach Sasha's ears of a foreign spy in the foundation, sparking a desperate hunt for the mole. And as the expedition nears the spectacular landscapes of the High Arctic, international tensions threaten to spill over into outright conflict - with fateful consequences for the Falck clan. The Heirs of the Arctic, the second novel in Aslak Nore's bestselling Falck Saga, traces a tale of illicit love, geopolitical cat-and-mouse games and bitter power struggles, as the fate of one powerful Norwegian family becomes emblematic of the challenges facing Europe in the new century.
