Well thought out fantasy involving Nordic mythology. Sprinkle on dark supernatural elements and mystery while following along with the hero on his journey. Fast paced and fun. Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read the book for an honest review

This is a much darker story than I usually enjoy. It blends many faith traditions and folklore into an interesting journey that is definitely fraught with tragic outcomes. And this is only the beginning of the story…
There is violence and a small amount of language. The story would be appropriate for teens and adults.
Urban fantasy at its best. The characters are great. Wonderful imagery. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book
