The Deluding of Gylfi (paperback)

The necromancer who would become a god of death ...

Odin wanted only to protect his people from the soul-stealing Mist and the horrors that emerged from it. But when a vision of Ragnarök reveals the end of the World, he discovers a terrible truth: if Mankind is to survive, he must become willing to do whatever that survival demands.

With his blood brother Loki at his side, Odin begins a relentless search for the power to defy Fate. He seeks vengeance against the frost giant who slew his father and wins the favour of the goddess Idunn, whose immortal apples may offer salvation for a chosen few. Yet every step toward victory demands a darker sacrifice.

For Odin will delve into forbidden magic. He will deceive gods and Men alike. He will sacrifice trust, honour, and perhaps even his own soul. Because if Ragnarök comes, everything will be lost—and Odin must decide whether saving the World is worth losing himself.
