Summary

Embark on this epic Norse mythology series in the Eschaton Cycle historical fantasy universe.
What lies beyond shadow?
After centuries bound in Alfheim, Odin escapes, only to find himself trapped in the fathomless darkness of Svartalfheim. His only ally: a woman who no longer trusts him.
Svartalfheim is home to the strange and corrupt dark elf courts. Eager for Odin’s oracular sight, they pull him into their unending power struggles. And while the king is missing, the world hurtles toward Ragnarok.
In desperation, Hermod hunts through the Otherworld to find his missing king, while Midgard faces annihilation on all sides. But there are countless horrors in the dark places beyond the Mortal Realm, and Hermod is ill prepared to face them.

The Shadows of Svartalfheim is the seventh novel in the Gods of the Ragnarok Era series. It continues a saga melding Norse myths, horror, and dark fantasy set in an ice age. For fans of R. Scott Bakker, Michael R. Fletcher, and Rob J. Hayes, this is a dark mythological retelling filled with gods and monsters from the Viking Age and beyond.
