The Skald's Song

The Skald's SongA haunting retelling of Norse myths - where the old gods speak, and one man's voice keeps their stories alive.Rúnar, a young man with a point to prove, stands alone with nothing but his harp and his memories. Through his songs, he recalls the great tales of the North - the mead of poetry, the death of Baldr, the binding of Fenrir - but every verse carries a shadow of his own life and longing.As he sings, the line between myth and man begins to blur, and the gods' fates echo his own. Among his listeners is Eirik, a quiet warrior whose presence stirs something long buried in Rúnar's heart. Together, they find meaning - and love - in a world haunted by loss, legend, and the fading light of the old faith.Blending Norse mythology, lyrical prose, and heartfelt queer storytelling, The Skald's Song weaves history and myth into a meditation on love, memory, and the stories that outlast us all.Perfect for readers of Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology and Madeline Miller's The Song of Achilles, this is a timeless tale of gods, men, and the power of the spoken word.
