The Deluding of Gylfi - Paperback

by Matt Larkin (Author)

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

He was a god. He was a king. A necromancer, a shaman. A prophet ...

From out of the Mist he came, his name whispered in awe and dread, for Odin cast himself as a god of Man. But behind the illusion and the lies, Odin too was once a man, in an age of ice and an era of Mist.

With his blood brother Loki by his side, Odin wanted only to protect his people from the soul-stealing Mist and its denizens. But when a vision of Ragnar?k shows him the end of the world, he is forced to accept a terrible truth. In the face of the extinction of Mankind, any action, any deception, no matter how vile, is needful if it might avert the end.

So Odin will kill, will lie, will use Men in his ceaseless schemes. Because the price of his failure is unthinkable ...

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 Rob J. Hayes, Ryan Cahill, and Zamil Akhtar, this is a dark mythological retelling filled with gods and monsters from the Viking Age and beyond. The Eschaton Cycle begins.
