Norse Myth Fantasy
Frost giants, doomed gods, a world-tree with a serpent gnawing at its root. Norse myth was grim long before it was fashionable, and this shelf gathers the fantasy and retellings that actually draw on the Eddas: Odin's bargains, Loki's mischief, the slow gathering of Ragnarök. Some retell the old stories straight; others build new worlds on their bones. All of them understand that the best part was always that the gods knew they would lose, and rode out anyway.
