The Warlock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Warlock (Häxmästären in Swedish, "Heksemesteren" in Norwegian) is a series of books by Norwegian-Swedish author Margit Sandemo. This series is Margit Sandemos second, following the extremely popular The Ice People, and is generally viewed as "Very good, but not quite as good as the first".

The series starts of with the Norwegian girl Tiril and Icelandic Warlock Móri in the 15th Century. It is set in Bergen, Norway and [[Iceland for the first few books, then moving to Sweden in book three. Later the action returns to Norway and eventually expands more throughout the series.

The main theme in The Warlock is love, mystery, drama and the supernatural (not in that order)
