"Blood magic, blackmail, and battle rock a rich world of fading magic to its core in this internationally bestselling Norwegian epic fantasy." - Publishers Weekly reviews Odin's Child I loved (Odin's Child) deeply from the first to the last word, and was instantly and thoroughly immersed. -- Laini Taylor, bestselling author of Daughter of Smoke and Bone. ...The story examines and upends everything its characters believe in, including their world, their history, their faith, and themselves, while intertwining elements of politics and Norse mythology with a side of forbidden romance. Kirkus Reviews The intrigue, scope, and depth of His Dark Materials, set in an immersive Nordic world as fierce and unforgettable as its characters. Rosaria Munda, author Fireborne/Flamefall - Aurelian Cycle The world building is stupendous. MidWest Book Review Imagine lacking something that everyone else has. Something that proves you belong to this world. Something so vital, that without it, you are nothing. A plague. A myth. A human.” Fifteen winters old, Hirka learns that she is an Odin's child – a tailless rot from another world. Despised. Dreaded. And hunted. She no longer knows who she is, and someone wants to kill her to keep it a secret. But there are worse things than humans, and Hirka is not the only creature to have broken through the gates… Odin’s Child is unique fantasy with Norse roots. An epic clash of xenophobia, blind faith and the right or will to lead. The first in a trilogy, Odin's Child is a thrilling modern fantasy epic.

Book Description
About The Book This is the ninth book in the series, the Chronicles of Mattias. While new challenges for Mattias, assigned by the gods, continue to be assigned and understood, the arrival of the three women, Liv the Lesti, Tala the avian and Ro the Bjerne. They have presented themselves and wandered with Lady Isme, the Bestianari princess married to Mattias Denson. Yusa Mattiasdottir opens a new chapter in the search for whatever it is that Princess Liv of Tule, as well as the gods in Asgard, are looking for. No one is quite sure about anything that Mattias is being told, but as Princess Liv's sisters Queen Revna and Princess Ora of Partha are discovered and their stories told, what is clear is exactly ... nothing. New in this novel is the existence of the bat people, transforming bats and the most precocious of whom is Yusa, bat daughter of Mattias himself. Queen Murcielaga of the Kingdom of the Bats weds Mattias adding yet another vassal in the long line Mattias must use to fulfill his oath for the gods. The Kingdom of Partha falls, as do the savage barbarians along the coast of the southern Mar, and the Island of Pacifica, home to secrets and mysteries along with a vast number of Lesti and Bjerne who must leave their home urgently. A demon queen, along with her three daughters, enters the scene once again rearranging the cast of characters. Odin helps them transform, but how? And once again, the goddesses Aeir and Freya resurface, along with a new goddess, the goddess Hel of the Underworld. Finally, as the mystery of what the gods really have always wanted from Mattias finally is revealed, a new nemesis is revealed, the god El. Yusa Matthiasdottir is a novel again rooted in a series of lies, deceptions and betrayals. The right questions are finally being asked. Is Mattias Denson getting all the right answers? The gods have decreed that the Mattias has not finished his task of bringing peace to the world, freeing the slaves under the Covenant, uniting all factions in peace and harmony. And Mattias has a new final task bringing him closer than ever to what the gods really want and what his task has been all along. What do the gods want? Who or what do they fear? The saga continues.

Book Description
Norse Mythology explores the magical myths and legends of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Viking-Age Greenland and outlines the way the prehistoric tales and beliefs from these regions that have remained embedded in the imagination of the world. The book begins with an Introduction that helps put Scandinavian mythology in place in history, followed by a chapter that explains the meaning of mythic time, and a third section that presents in-depth explanations of each mythological term. These fascinating entries identify particular deities and giants, as well as the places where they dwell and the varied and wily means by which they forge their existence and battle one another. We meet Thor, one of the most powerful gods, who specializes in killing giants using a hammer made for him by dwarfs, not to mention myriad trolls, ogres, humans and strange animals. We learn of the ongoing struggle between the gods, who create the cosmos, and the jötnar, or giants, who aim to destroy it. In the enchanted world where this mythology takes place, we encounter turbulent rivers, majestic mountains, dense forests, storms, fierce winters, eagles, ravens, salmon and snakes in a landscape closely resembling Scandinavia. Beings travel on ships and on horseback; they eat slaughtered meat and drink mead. Spanning from the inception of the universe and the birth of human beings to the universe's destruction and the mythic future, these sparkling tales of creation and destruction, death and rebirth, gods and heroes will entertain readers and offer insight into the relationship between Scandinavian myth, history, and culture.
