Written in Iceland a century after the close of the Viking Age, The Prose Edda is the source of most of what we know of Norse mythology. Its tales are peopled by giants, dwarves, and elves, superhuman heroes and indomitable warrior queens. Its gods live with the tragic knowledge of their own impending destruction in the cataclysmic battle of Ragnarok. Its time scale spans the eons from the world’s creation to its violent end. This robust new translation captures the magisterial sweep and startling psychological complexity of the Old Icelandic original.

Step into the harsh and captivating world of Viking-era Scandinavia, where the line between history and myth is as thin as a blade. Tales of the Gods is a gripping historical fiction novel that brings the legends of Norse mythology to life through the eyes of Aodhan, a young Celt captured by Vikings. Torn from his home and forced into thralldom, Aodhan’s fate is tied to the very men who destroyed his village—Vikings who live by their gods’ teachings and share their ancient stories as a means of understanding the world around them.

As Aodhan and his captor Sigurd – turned unlikely brother – navigate the brutal challenges of Viking life—from treacherous voyages across the sea and down the winding rivers that weave through the dangerous landscape of eastern Europe—they recount the epic tales of Odin, Thor, and Loki. These stories, from creation to Ragnarok, and passed down through generations, reflect the struggles and triumphs of the characters themselves, offering a glimpse into the beliefs that shaped a warrior culture. But these are not mere bedtime stories; they are the framework through which the Vikings view their world—a world where the favor of the gods can mean the difference between life and death.

Perfect for fans of historical fiction and mythology alike, this book will leave you captivated, questioning, and eager to turn the next page.
