Norse Mythology

10/12/2024 / Books, Genre Fiction, Historical, Literature & Fiction

Introducing an instant classic – master storyteller Neil Gaiman presents a dazzling version of the great Norse myths.

Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people. Gaiman stays true to the myths while vividly reincarnating Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki, the son of a giant, a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. From Gaiman’s deft and witty prose emerge the gods with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.

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.
