Synopsis
— a warrior hero from a mythic age.
The Old Gods had blessed him.
Three lifetimes had been Odin's gift.
The Old Gods had cursed him.
Each life must end in Thor-ordained betrayal.
Now Storkodder was old and life-weary, death-weary. Feared as a mighty warrior, he was fearful of the last betrayal he must commit.
Ahead lay one final journey through the ice-bleak lands of the North. Sworn oaths of loyalty bound him to his companion. Blood-feud divided them. The sword he carried was cursed, fate-forged.
Yet the Gods themselves were doomed. Too late — for he hod long struggled against their rule — their powers were waning. Soon a bright cold sun would rise in the South to freeze them into shadowed oblivion.

Reviews
A warrior blessed by Odin and cursed by Thor joins forces with a young man bent on revenge to play out a predestined tale of treachery and betrayal in the last days of Sweden's mad King Oli. King's dark, brooding style lends a compelling inevitablity to this strong first novel that should appeal to fans of Norse myths and legends. JC
