Asger Agnarson is now a cursed man - an immortal soldier - the Twilight Warrior.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James W.
