Delve into this epic Norse mythology series in the Eschaton Cycle historical fantasy universe.

Would you sacrifice the present to save the future?
Odin has become a god among Men, yet he cannot revel in his position. Not when he knows the truth: Ragnarök is coming. The only way he might preserve the World is by gaining as much knowledge as possible.

To this end, he hunts for the fabled Well of Mimir, where he can learn the truth about the future. Yet even if can see all the causes of Ragnarök, he may not be able to stop it.

Still, he will use all Men as pawns for even the chance of victory …

The Ragnarök Prophecy recombines new material along with previously published Ragnarok Era stories, to produce a definitive edition of this retelling of Norse myth. Mythology, horror, and dark fantasy meld together in an ice age. For fans of Zamil Akhtar, R. Scott Bakker, and Andy Peloquin this is a dark mythological retelling filled with gods and monsters from the Viking Age and beyond. The Eschaton Cycle begins.
