Short stories from each of the nine realms in Norse mythology. Midgard: An abandoned Viking returns to Iceland for a stolen treasure. Alfheim: An elven slave huntress tracks a Viking, who runs for the desert. Svartalfheim: A Viking band sails to the dark elven realm in search of gold and glory. Jotunheim: A thief is saved from the noose by a Valkyrie. She forces him to steal secrets from the giants' realm, but he has his own plans. This collection is a worldbuilding exercise before I launch my novel series, the Odinsbane Saga.
