Valhalla and its pantheon of gods and heroes have always fascinated readers, whether it is how these tales illuminate the Viking world or influence cultural touchstones like J. R. R. Tolkien, whose Middle Earth is heavily indebted to Germanic and Norse mythology, as well as Hollywood and comics culture.In Tales of Valhalla, the Whittocks have dramatically retold these rich stories and set them in context within the wider Viking world. Including both myths—stories, usually religious, which explain origins, why things are as they are, the nature of the spiritual—and legends—stories which attempt to explain historical events and may involve historical characters but are told in a non-historical way and often include supernatural events—Tales of Valhalla is an accessible and lively volume that brings these hallmarks of world literature to a new generation.

The Broken Kingdoms have all but forgotten the existence of magic after a century of warfare and intrigue. Into this chaos an ancient evil – the stuff of legendary nightmares – emerges from the mists of time. The kingdoms as they now stand, shorn of their past glories, cannot stand against this onslaught. The time of legends may be past, but when wizards and heroes are nowhere to be found, perhaps two wounded, flawed people can make the difference.

Undead is part one of a three part series, called The Z-Files, following the lives of Tyr and Persephone before and during the years that the undead plagued humanity and spread across the earth. Theses two have lead very different lives and gain very different powers throughout the course of the story, and yet they are connected in the most sacred and carnal of ways. Tyr gains powers that transforms his body into something born from the very myths and legends that spawned the creation of the Undead. Persephone develops love for her knew family, for her lover and for herself, all of which were feelings that were foreign and strange to her before meeting them. Power and love seem like wonderful things, but these two heroes soon learn the weight that these offer in such a dark world, yet it is the love between them that remains the truest form of power.

An epic introduction to Norse mythology for students of all ages. Based on the research of the 19th century Swedish poet and scholar, Viktor Rydberg, Our Fathers' Godsaga retells the mythology of Northern Europe in chronological order from Creation to Ragnarök. These are tales told by Vikings, epic tales of gods and giants, elves and dwarves, and of how their interaction and wars affect the first generations of human beings in the North. Based on a comprehensive examination of the source material, including the Icelandic Eddas and Sagas, this is likely the way Germanic mythology looked at the end of the heathen era. Many will recognize themes found here in J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion, particularly the tale of the elf-smith Völund and his quest for revenge against the Aesir, first detailed by Rydberg in his comprehensive Investigations into Germanic Mythology, 1886. This is an original translation of Viktor Rydberg's Fädernas Gudasaga, his own retelling of the complete Norse mythic epic, first published in 1887, and many times since. The text includes a complete catalog of mythic names & the original artwork, from the 1911 German translation, by renowned children's artist John Bauer (1882-1918). This classic Swedish text appears in English now for the first time.
