About the book

Hålogalending is an action-driven historical novel set in the Viking Age in Northern Norway. The book is heavily inspired by the northern Norwegian landscape, and readers familiar with the area will recognize places such as Borg i Lofoten, Ness, Tømmeråsen and Engeløya, as well as the area Presteid/Oppeid/Uteid, which has been given other names in the novel.
