The Forging of Volund - Paperback

by Matt Larkin (Author)

Delve into this epic Norse mythology series in the Eschaton Cycle historical fantasy universe.

In a dark forge, a weapon is wrought.

Odin lies in the grip of the Niflungar. Their dire goddess Hel will see him broken or destroyed, for she knows the power that lies quiescent within him and will not suffer him to walk free.

Yet the very torments the Niflungar wrack upon Odin may become the means of his ascension. In his desperation, he turns to darker Realms still.

Foes surround Odin and his people on all sides. Yet Odin, their king, holds fearsome abilities of his own. And soon, the living and the dead will bend the knee before a new-risen god.

The Ragnar?k Prophecy recombines material previously published as Gods of the Ragnarok Era, Runeblade Saga, and Legends of the Ragnarok Era, along with new material, to produce a definitive edition of this retelling of Norse myth. Mythology, horror, and dark fantasy meld together in an ice age. For fans of Richard Swan, Anthony Ryan, and Brian Lee Durfee, this is a dark mythological retelling filled with gods and monsters from the Viking Age and beyond. The Eschaton Cycle begins.
