Viking Mythology: Thor, Odin, Loki and the Old Norse Myths

Stories of the hammer-wielding Thor, wise Odin, beautiful Freya and evil Loki have fascinated people throughout the ages. Even today, almost a thousand years after the last Scandinavians abandoned the old gods for Christianity, the Viking myths continue to captivate new generations of readers. Scandinavian artists have been inspired by these myths for hundreds of years. Art museums all over Scandinavia display paintings with scenes from Norse mythology, and authors and painters still draw on the language and content of the old myths. Also artists elsewhere in the world are inspired by the Norse myths. Richard Wagner borrowed heavily from Viking lore when he wrote his operas, and it’s hard to imagine the fantasy worlds of J. R. R. Tolkien and George R. R. Martin without the inspiration from Scandinavian mythology.

This book offers the modern reader a gateway into the wondrous world of Norse mythology with all its gods, goddesses, heroes, giants, elves, dwarfs and other creatures. But at the same time, this is more than just a collection of the ancient myths. This book also places all these gods and myths in their historical context and explains the religion of the Vikings, with its sacred calendar, its holy places and its sacrifices.

Her Viking Dragon Mystic (Viking Ancestors: Age of Embers Book 3)

She’s a twenty-first-century healer with deep, dark secrets. He’s a medieval Viking dragon mystic who knows her greatest secret will bind her to him eternally.

When tensions continue escalating between the kingdoms of tenth-century Norway, Quinn is prepared to travel back in time and help her friends. Especially when she realizes that the Viking dragon king mystic they think is their ally is their enemy. Little does she expect to be forced to his side against her will.

Determined to keep Quinn away from him for her own good, Viking king Rafe Sigdir ensures she thinks he can’t be trusted. Anything to keep them from reconnecting again and tempting the enemy. Unfortunately, she’s whisked back in time regardless, straight into the heart of his kingdom, and he has no choice but to come face-to-face with the woman he once loved. Worse still, she’s thrust into more danger than either of them can handle.

Trying to stay one step ahead of an unseen foe, Rafe and Quinn embark on a passionate journey into the ancient woodlands of Scandinavia. A forest of memories that reveals not just Quinn’s connection to their nemesis but a sinful, forbidden secret that threatens her and Rafe’s desire for one another. A truth that could separate them forever or bind them together eternally if Rafe’s willing to become what Quinn thought him at the beginning…a traitor willing to betray his allied kingdoms.

When two worlds collide with earth-shattering consequences, the first book in the Redemption Series is a gripping read that’s perfect for fans of historical fiction, mystery, and suspense with religious undertones and a supernatural twist.

A magical artifact. A princess from another time. And a flawed soldier on the hunt for his destiny.

The year is 2016, and veteran James “Mack” MacNaughton struggles with a life-threatening medical condition and the ghosts of war. But when he crosses paths with Toey – a beautiful Cherokee Native woman with an enigmatic heart-shaped ruby – he’s plunged into a life-changing mystery that could rewrite history.

After Toey disappears deep in the mountains of North Carolina, Mack stumbles upon a shocking secret: Toey is a princess from the 1700s, and her ruby is an ancient Viking treasure with a supernatural power… and an origin that challenges everything we know about our past.

Her treasure is the only thing that can cure his illness. But Mack isn’t the only one who wants it. Caught up in an international manhunt that paints a target on his back, Mack must go toe-to-toe with Mother Nature’s elements, bloodthirsty mountain outlaws, and the mistakes of his past to locate Toey and unravel the mystery of her ruby.
Can Mack fulfill his destiny and find the woman he loves? Or will he be swallowed up and lost to the sands of time?

Heroes of Valhalla: An Epic Norse Retelling (The Aesir Saga Book 1)

An epic Norse retelling for fans of Bernard Cornwell and David Gemmell.

Starkad knew those days were over. The gods, whether old or new, cared not for the plight of the people. The age of gods was over. Perhaps it was now the age of heroes, or maybe the end of everything was on the horizon. Starkad did not know the answer. All he knew was that cold steel now ruled. If the gods had abandoned him, then he would make his own way.

The north has descended into darkness. Abandoned by the empire. Deserted by the old gods. Left to fend for themselves. The Kingdom of Asgard is a light in the darkness, a beacon of civilization in a dying land. A place of heroes.

But war is coming…

Driven by prophecy, Odin, king of Asgard searches tirelessly for a hero who can stop the coming destruction.

The Aesir Saga is a gritty reimagining of Viking age myth told through the eyes of three young warriors destined to become Heroes of Valhalla.

Sword of the War God: an epic historical adventure based on Viking mythology from the author of the Whale Road Chronicles

THE EPIC HISTORICAL NOVEL OF THE YEAR – READERS LOVE SWORD OF THE WAR GOD!

‘Tim Hodkinson has created a fascinating and undeniably epic tale… Highly recommended!’ Theodore Brun
‘A relentless tale from start to finish that will leave you breathless for more.’ Richard Cullen

Featuring breathtaking battles, fearsome foes, and vehement vows of vengeance, SWORD OF THE WAR GOD is a thrilling adventure set amongst the blood and tumult of fifth-century Europe, where the dying Roman Empire, the mighty Huns, and heroes from Norse mythology vie for power.

In a world of war and ruin, men and gods collide.

436 AD. The Burgundars are confident of destroying Rome’s legions, for the Empire is weak. Their forces are strong and they have beaten the Romans in battle before.

But they are annihilated, their king killed, his people scattered. Their fabled treasure is lost. For Rome has new allies: the Huns, whose taste for bloodshed knows no bounds.

Many years later, the Huns, led by the fearsome Attila, have become the deadliest enemies of Rome. Attila seeks the Burgundars’ treasure, for it includes the legendary Sword of the War God, said to make the bearer unbeatable.

No alliance can defeat Attila by conventional means. With Rome desperate for help, a one-eyed old warlord from distant lands and his strange band of warriors may have the answers… but oaths will be broken and the plains of Europe will run with blood before the end.

Drawing on Norse mythology and European history, Sword of the War God is an epic historical adventure perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Joanne Harris, Neil Gaiman and Christian Cameron.

But when Thor crashes into her town injured and afraid claiming sanctuary, Freya is more than a little nervous her carefully crafted world is about to come crumbling down around her. She doesn’t believe in coincidences and the gods have never been afraid to play dangerous games to meet their ultimate goal of taking her down. Freya might be trying to embrace her kinder, gentler side, but there’s a reason she’s the Goddess of Love and War. It’s time to show the Asgardians exactly what she’s made of. No matter who she has to take out in the process.
