The Blades of the Old Kingdoms (paperback)

The final runeblade. The greatest horror.

To ensure victory at Ragnarök, Odin has manipulated mortals across Midgard. He has schemed, plotted, lied, and killed. For years, he has sent others into darkness to recover the lost runeblades of the Old Kingdoms, weapons powerful enough to challenge even the gods.

Now only one blade remains.

But the final runeblade is not lost. It is held by the Patriarch of Miklagard, a foreign lord whose power rivals anything Odin has faced before. Alongside the mortals he has used as his pawns, Odin must venture into a strange city beyond his lands to claim the weapon capable of slaying immortals.

Yet the blades of the Old Kingdoms were forged with powers no mortal was meant to wield. The closer Odin comes to victory, the greater the horrors he and his allies must face.

And the final price may be paid not by his enemies, but by those Odin was meant to protect.
