Odin’s endgame draws near. 
Only a few obstacles remain between him and his goal of reaching Alfheim. His most valuable piece has become Sigurd, son of Sigmund, and a fierce warrior. Odin now must prompt Sigurd on a quest to slay a dragon and unravel a dynasty. 
The Fates have a dark fate in store for Odin’s unwitting pawn, and the god of the Aesir no longer cares who is hurt in his schemes. He cares only for reuniting with Freyja, and winning Ragnarok, and these ends justify all means. Yet, even if he reaches Alfheim, he cannot imagine what awaits him there.
 
The Radiance of Alfheim is the sixth novel in the Gods of the Ragnarok Era series. It continues a saga melding Norse myths, horror, and dark fantasy set in an ice age. For fans of Guy Gavriel Kay, Michael Scott Rohan, and Michael R. Fletcher, this is a dark mythological retelling filled with gods and monsters from the Viking Age and beyond.
