'... Oh, Asger, I am not condemning you to death. I am condemning you to life. You, Asger, will not die today, or any other day ...''... and, as your name means ’spear of god’ that is what you will be - the Spear of God - my spear ...'A thrilling hero’s journey, 'The Twilight Warrior' puts you right in the middle of the action. Between the cliffhangers, the unforeseen plot twists, and the amazing battle scenes, you’ll not want to put this book down.If you are a fan of the 'Vikings' television series or Bernard Cornwell’s 'The Last Kingdom' series, you’ll love this story - sincere historical fiction with a supernatural flare!Asger Agnarson is mortally wounded until Hel, the Norse Goddess of the Underworld, gives him a second chance at life - an immortal life. But there’s a catch. Asger will be completely anonymous, forgotten by anyone he meets, and unrecognized, even by his family and friends. Asger Agnarson is now a cursed man - an immortal soldier - the Twilight Warrior. Accompanied by Hel’s brother, the great Wolf-god, Fenrir, Asger embarks on a series of ever more dangerous adventures, faces seemingly insurmountable hardships, and transforms into the greatest hero of the Viking Age - the Drengr Røkkr - all the while, railing against the notion that he is nothing more than a pawn in some supernatural power-play of the gods.Desperate to change his cursed destiny, Asger engages a childhood friend, Eric, who, because of the curse, does not recognize him, but whose ambition to fulfill his own destiny may destroy any chance Asger has of regaining his mortality. With every turn of events, the true purpose of Asger’s immortal mission becomes clearer, but nothing will deter him from his ultimate quest - to end his curse and return to his family.Extensively researched, this classic hero’s tale depicts Northern Europe and the Baltic Sea region in the late eighth century. Many of the historical places and people mentioned in the story are real, as are the references to Norse mythological stories and the pantheon of Norse gods. What sets this book apart from other Norse or Viking novels is how seamlessly the gods are weaved into the story, blurring the lines between the natural and supernatural world and creating an alternate universe where heroes of great power exist and direct interactions with deities are possible.
