![]() Vikings! For more than a decade, author Christine Morgan's Viking stories have delighted readers and critics, standing apart from the anthologies they appeared in. She sings of heroes and everyday folk, tricksters and tale-tellers, standing tall and facing gods and monsters. And then, her voice: low and sonorous, musical and rhythmic, begins once again to weave the tapestry, telling tales of heroism and horror, glory and loss. The skald gives you a knowing glance, then takes a drink of her mead before continuing. Faraway wolves howl and call, echoing along the path to Niflheim, Hel's realm of the dead. ![]() ![]() The creak of ropes reminds you of Jormungandr, the Midgard Serpent, the world wrapped in its scaly embrace. The crash of distant waves invokes the whale-road, long ships traveling its path, their sides covered with brightly painted shields. Every sound echoes, continues a fragment of the story. ![]()
