The Skald's Song
A 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.
