Valkyrie’s Child

A Novel by Rebecca Hazell

At Kunnasta, Eira Sloane discovers she isn’t just different.
She is something the world has never seen before.

Beatrix,

You are the reason this series exists.
None of this would have been written if not for you. Not the first sentence. Not the first chapter. Not the world that followed.
I remember the day clearly. You walked in carrying your Gryffindor cloak, wand in hand, and asked me if you were still allowed to like this. It was such a simple question, but it carried more weight than you could have known.
I answered you as a parent first. Perhaps quickly. Perhaps instinctively. But something about that moment stayed with me long after you left the room.
Because in that moment, I realised something had almost been lost. Something mythic. Something imaginative. Something vital.
This story began as my answer to that moment.
It began because you reminded me that these worlds still mattered. That wonder still mattered. That belief in something larger, stranger, and more meaningful than the ordinary world was still worth protecting.
Everything that followed came from that single point of origin.
You didn’t just inspire this story.
you made it possible.

Dad
