The Portal – Part 1

Malin Falch

An epic battle looms in The Portal – Part 1, where Sonja and her companions face a relentless fight that seems impossible to win. As the clash between the Vikings and Espen’s gang intensifies, the fate of Jotun Valley hangs in the balance. This is the first of two linked books in the Northern Lights series

Reminiscent of Kazu Kibuishi’s Amulet series, Falch’s vibrant illustrations bring Norway’s stunning landscapes and mythical creatures to life, making each page a work of art. A must-read for fans of fantasy!

The Portal – Part 1 is the fifth book in the Northern Lights series, Malin Falch’s debut series, for which she has won awards including The Pondus Price 2018 and the Ark Children Book 2018. This modern-day fairytale has captivated readers worldwide, selling over 300,000 copies in Norway. Planned to span ten books, the first seven are already out in Norway with the 8th chapter in the series coming 2026.
