BLURB
Helena
Eskildson is obsessed with Vikings and Norse Mythology. Neither Helena nor her
sister knows they are Freya's daughters - Valkyries, the shield maidens to
Odin.
When her obsession leads her to a remote site at
Roskilde and it's two monolithic rune stones, her destiny is awakened.
While the team wages a battle between a cursed
site and a sociopathic killer, time is ticking closer to Ragnarok.
Will her friends be able to save her before the
gjallerhorn sounds?
EXCERPT
He felt
he had the favor of the Norns, the three goddesses associated with destiny,
that were akin to the Greek gods of fate.
Having
the favor of the gods meant success in his goals. He was destined to be Lif,
the last man standing, the lone man that would repopulate the earth after
Ragnarok. In essence, he would become the new Adam.
The
rituals were necessary, an integral part of the process before using the key.
Unfolding the linen handkerchief carefully, the ancient bronze key looked
nothing like what most would think of as a key. A circular piece, about six
inches in diameter spanned from his thumb to the tip of his middle finger.
Runic writings along the outside edge written within the form of the great
serpent Jormungand, the great dragon conquering the gripping animal grouping in
a circular band about two inches wide, the design in the eternal triskell
pattern. Inside of that, written in runes was the location of the gjallerhorn.
At the center were nine swords pointing to an amber stone, nine strands over an
open area, the stone center raised with a square notch in the back. It had to
be positioned precisely at the solstice.
