A Gathering of Ravens

More about the book

In an epic tale of vengeance, faith, and myth, a creature known by many names—Corpse-maker, Life-quencher, and Grimnir—emerges from his lair, driven by a thirst for revenge against the Dane who killed his brother. As the last of his kind, Grimnir faces a world transformed by a new faith that threatens to extinguish the Old Ways. To navigate this changed landscape, he takes a young Christian hostage as his guide. Their journey begins in Denmark, where ancient dwarven wisdom has succumbed to madness, and continues to the war-torn heart of southern England, where the spirits of the land are in turmoil. The path leads them to Ireland's shores and the Viking stronghold of Dubhlinn, where Grimnir's enemy awaits. However, to achieve his vengeance, Grimnir must confront his own hatred. Dubhlinn becomes the stage for a monumental reckoning between the Old Ways and the New. Grimnir faces a crucial choice: ally with the Christian King of Ireland to fulfill his quest for revenge or oppose him and risk losing everything. The fate of his vengeance—and possibly the world—hangs in the balance.
