War has come. After the devastating results of last year's hijacked Reenactment, Blader Thrym is currently in the middle of fighting the war between Domar Tros' chaos armies and Asgard's established reign. Between Tros and his apprentice's use of blood magic and rekkr soldiers, the einherjar are hard pressed to keep their holds on the Nine Worlds as civilians struggle to keep their loved ones safe. When Blader and his companions are chosen by the god Magni to reform the elite Mjolnir Squad, the first to be assembled since Dyr Gunar's rule, they are tasked with the mission of eliminating the two sorcerers commanding the forces of chaos. But with increased wolf and vikingr attacks, the squad's focus is split as the powers of the enemy grow. With the kidnapping of Blader's youngest sister and his inability to search for her, his brother Ivan is thrust out of his simple farming life into an alliance with Valkyrie Recruiter Loqe as the two of them set out to rescue Freyja in the midst of the turmoil of their world. Ivan's attraction to the Valkyrie only grows during his time with Loqe as he remains blissfully unaware of the secrets and punishment she hides. In the second installment of the Einherjar Saga, Blader Thrym and his allies join the war against the sorcerers who invoke chaos in order to protect the world order. /**/ #1 Military Fantasy 6/18/23
