The night the sky split open, Demi was struck by something no mortal was meant to survive. In the North, power is taken, not given. The gods do not bless without reason, and every gift carries a price. What touched Demi in that storm was not mercy. It was a mark... and her son, Tyr Bjarteson, will carry the weight of it. Years later, whispers of the Æsir spread across the land as something unnatural begins to stir beneath flesh and bone.
Tyr is drawn into a conflict of ancient powers, brutal enemies and secrets buried long before his birth. As the line between man and myth begins to break, he must discover what the gods placed within him... and what they expect in return. But some powers cannot be controlled. And when the truth awakens, it will demand everything. The Mark of Æsir is the first book in The Saga of Þolgóði, a dark epic fantasy filled with Norse-inspired mythology, dangerous journeys, ancient gods, fierce warriors and the awakening of a power that could reshape the world.
