Book excerpt: CHILDREN of MIDGARD The year is 961 and King Harald Bluetooth of Denmark has his gaze firmly set on the Western Kingdoms of Norway where his nephew Harald Greycloak reigns. Bluetooth has declared Greycloak as his vassal King of Norway and will claim the establishment of the Jomsvikings. In doing so he will solidify the order, building a keep for the warriors he intends to use to create a fleet of men who will rule the seas under his command. However, the order is older than one man's claim and consists of many who have their own destinies separate from the feuding monarchs. There are men of honour and worth and there are those who seek naught but power and privilege, searching only to prosper from the misery of others. There are tales of a legendary ring and a child who is said to be the progeny of the All-Father. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Chapters 1 through 32 Epilogue ======= Free eBook VANDRAD THE VIKING Long after King Estein had joined his fathers on the Little Holm beyond Hernersfiord, and Helgi, Earl of Askland, had become but a warlike memory, the skalds of Sogn still sang this tale of Vandrad the Viking. It contained much wonderful magic, and some astonishingly hard strokes, as they told it; but reading between their lines, the magic bears a strong resemblance to many spells cast even at this day, and as for the sword strokes, there was need for them to be hard in Norway then. For that was the age of the making of many kingdoms, and the North was beginning to do its share........ TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I . THE WEST SEA SAILING CHAPTER II. THE BAIRN-SLAYERS CHAPTER III.

Book excerpt: The definitive history of the Vikings -- from arts and culture to politics and cosmology -- by a distinguished archaeologist with decades of expertise The Viking Age -- from 750 to 1050 -- saw an unprecedented expansion of the Scandinavian peoples into the wider world. As traders and raiders, explorers and colonists, they ranged from eastern North America to the Asian steppe. But for centuries, the Vikings have been seen through the eyes of others, distorted to suit the tastes of medieval clerics and Elizabethan playwrights, Victorian imperialists, Nazis, and more. None of these appropriations capture the real Vikings, or the richness and sophistication of their culture. Based on the latest archaeological and textual evidence, Children of Ash and Elm tells the story of the Vikings on their own terms: their politics, their cosmology and religion, their material world. Known today for a stereotype of maritime violence, the Vikings exported new ideas, technologies, beliefs, and practices to the lands they discovered and the peoples they encountered, and in the process were themselves changed. From Eirík Bloodaxe, who fought his way to a kingdom, to Gudrid Thorbjarnardóttir, the most traveled woman in the world, Children of Ash and Elm is the definitive history of the Vikings and their time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Remarkable.… Gaiman has provided an enchanting contemporary interpretation of the Viking ethos.”—Lisa L. Hannett, Atlantic Neil Gaiman, long inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction, presents a bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world from their origin though their upheaval in Ragnarok. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki—son of a giant—blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose, these gods emerge 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.

Book excerpt: Loki knows what he wants but risks losing everything at stake. Fully enjoying his double life, Loki flirts with danger as he dashes back and forth between two worlds. On Midgard during the Roaring Twenties, Loki revels in fame, fortune, and new-found love. As his human friend and manager, Kristoff, promotes his new act in Paris and London, Loki could easily pursue a budding romance with Carina Green, his talented American costar. But can he justify the cost, especially revealing his true identity to her? And how will he handle Klaus, Carina's former fiancé, when he returns with threats of force? Meanwhile, on Asgard, Loki's much-anticipated rite of passage fast approaches. But first, he must complete three days of trials to prove himself ... even as he fights to hide his mounting secrets. How will Loki avoid getting caught by Odin and Frigga, his warrior brother Thor, or even the eye of Heimdall, keeper of Asgard's gates? Will he keep his promise to his childhood friend Sigyn? And why does it seem King Odin is beginning to favor Loki for the throne rather than Thor, the rightful heir? As Loki's duplicity grows, the youngest prince of Asgard and Europe's favorite illusionist must decide which path to take. Discover new twists and turns in this historical fantasy meets paranormal romance as you explore Asgard in all its splendor, experience more of Paris, London, Norway, and Germany, including actual historical figures and landmarks, and savor delightful tidbits of Norse mythology along the way.

Book excerpt: A comprehensive and thrilling history of the Vikings for fans of the History Channel series From Harald Bluetooth to Cnut the Great, the feared seamen and plunderers of the Viking Age ruled Norway, Sweden, and Denmark but roamed as far as Byzantium, Greenland, and America. Raiders and traders, settlers and craftsmen, the medieval Scandinavians who have become familiar to history as Vikings never lose their capacity to fascinate, from their ingeniously designed longboats to their stormy pantheon of Viking gods and goddesses, ruled by Odin in Valhalla. Robert Ferguson is a sure guide across what he calls "the treacherous marches which divide legend from fact in Viking Age history." His long familiarity with the literary culture of Scandinavia with its skaldic poetry is combined with the latest archaeological discoveries to reveal a sweeping picture of the Norsemen, one of history's most amazing civilizations. Impeccably researched and filled with compelling accounts and analyses of legendary Viking warriors and Norse mythology, The Vikings is an indispensable guide to medieval Scandinavia and is a wonderful companion to the History Channel series.

A punishment from Odin for refusing to give him knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into a remote forest. There she is found by a man Loki, and her initial distrust grows into a deep and abiding love. Their union produces three unusual children, each with a secret destiny, who she is keen to raise at the hidden from Odin's all-seeing eye. But as Angrboda slowly recovers her prophetic powers, she learns that her blissful life - and possibly all of existence - is in danger.

Book excerpt: 2020 IBPA Award Winner: “Even if, like me, you have a lifelong obsession with Norse myths, I promise you you’ve never seen them like this.” —Lev Grossman In the midst of a bloody battle between giants, Asgardian gods, and humans, deceit and betrayal run wild. One warrior must fight to discover who she can trust and beat the odds to determine the ultimate fate of her people. She trained her whole life to become the strongest warrior of Jotunheim, to become the beloved champion of her gods. But when the time came to finally prove her strength, Vei was cast into the sea by the very god she fought for. Rescued by a Viking ship, Vei returns to Jotunheim, home of the legendary giants. There she finds herself caught in the Meistarileikir, a bloody game between the humans, the giants, and the gods of Asgard that will determine who will have the right to rule the land of Midgard. Having lost the confidence of her own god, Vei must take her place in the Meistarileikir and fight not only for the control of Midgard, but for her very life, in this epic battle against daring warriors, fearsome monsters, and even the gods themselves. A bestseller in Sweden, Vei weaves together an incredible tale that pits man against God and God against God in an outstanding Hunger Games-meets-Norse mythology graphic novel.

Book excerpt: Living in the shadow of his warrior brother has driven Loki to an amazing discovery: a hidden portal between his own world and a more fascinating one that constantly draws him back. On Asgard, he is an almost-forgotten prince, desperate to prove himself, but on Midgard (Earth), he finds the adulation he craves as the traveling showman and magician, Lukas Black. But living two lives becomes increasingly complicated. Several attempts on his life on Midgard and a threat to his father's throne both seem connected to the Asgardian noblewoman he is expected to marry, though he finds himself falling instead for a beautiful American singer who is promised to another. Can Loki maintain his double life and stay a step ahead of whoever is trying to kill him? Or will the constant risk of discovery cause him to make his first mistake? History buffs and fantasy lovers alike will find themselves captivated by each twist and turn, as Loki experiences the Roaring Twenties in some of the most famous cities on Earth, meeting some favorite characters from history and Norse mythology along the way.
