Why is it we destroy the things welove the most? This is the question Paulo Coelho, the author of The Alchemist, faces in this story of his confrontation with his past. The Valkíries is a compelling account of his journey, as Paulo and his wife embark on a forty-day quest into the searing heat of the Mojave Desert, where they encounter the Valkíries, strange warrior women who travel the desert on motorcycles.

This is not only a modern-day adventure, it is also an exploration of one man's battle with self-doubt and fear, as well as a true story of two people striving to understand and one another through destiny. Ultimately, The Valkíries delivers a powerful message about fogiving our past and believing in our future.

-'What do you see in that immense sky?' -J. asked.
-'Clouds.'
-'No', J. said. 'You see the soul of the rivers. Rivers that have just been reborn in the sea. They will rise to the sky, and remain there until, for whatever reason, they once again become rain and fall to earth.
'The rivers return to the mountains, but carry with them the wisdom of the sea.'

And each man kills the thing he loves,
By all let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword.

Once you told me that the world was divided into the farmers, who love the Earth and the harvest, and the hunters, who love the dark forests and conquest. You said I was a farmer, like J. That I walked the path of wisdom, achieved through contemplation. And you said I was married to a hunter.” Her thoughts were pushing their way out, and she couldn't stop herself. She was afraid the star might appear before she had finished. “And I am married to a hunter. I know that, and its been very difficult being married to you! You're like Valhalla, like the Valkyries. They never rest. They deal only in the strong emotions of the hunt, of taking risks. Of the darkness of night and the taking of prisoners. At the beginning, I didn't think I'd be able to live with that. I, who was looking for a life like everybody else's, married to a magus! A magus whose world is governed by laws I don't even know–a person who feels he is alive only when he is facing challenges.
