Why do we destroy what we love the most?

Paulo and Chris go on a spiritual quest to the arid and supposedly empty Mojave Desert.

The Valkyries is the story of two people struggling to understand each other, but, most of all, it contains a powerful message about forgiving our past and believing in our future. When we accept and recognize ourselves and our strengths and weaknesses, then we are ready to change the world.

In this novel – which was ahead of its time when it was first published and continues to be highly relevant today - Paulo Coelho writes candidly about his battle with fear and self-doubt. It was, he says, a difficult book to write because it described feelings and episodes from his own life, and marks the fragile gap between the magical tradition to which he belongs and the man he really is.

"A new war is about to break out, from which no one will escape. We will see two armies. On the one side, those who still believe in the human race, in mankind’s hidden powers, and who know that our next step must involve the nurturing of individual gifts. On the other side, will be those who believe that life is about attaining material goals, and nothing more."

It's time for the individual. What will you do? Whose side are you on?

The battle for the world is waged within each one of us.
