The Call of Helheim: The high fantasy saga filled with Norse mythology and runic magic

Six months after King Aslak wins the throne of Himlinge, treachery prowls the royal halls. Ruling with an iron fist, Aslak grows convinced assassins shadow his every step. His lover and confidante, Snehild—seer, warrior, and chosen of the Norns—struggles to ease his spiralling paranoia.

But when her sworn enemy strikes with forbidden rune magic, Snehild’s life begins to slip away. Only a cure hidden deep in the Nine Realms can save her soul.

With death closing in, she rides into Niflheim’s storm-lashed wastes, where the great dragon Níðhöggr coils in the shadows, and on to rain-swept Helheim—the land of the dead—where an ancient goddess waits in judgment. It is there, in the gloom beyond the living world, that a whisper will rise… a call that will change her fate forever.

The much-awaited sequel to the epic Norse fantasy series, brimming with petty gods, Viking warriors, prophecy, courtly intrigue, and dark magic, ‘The Call of Helheim’ is perfect for fans of ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ and ‘The Witcher’.
