Review Summaries

"Episode I, presents a world reminiscent of Norse legends, rife with conflict and loyalty, treason and unconditional love. A world transporting the reader to a time that could be either our past or our future. From meticulous descriptions of the dress and designations of the Valkyrie, their Destriers and Death Bringers, to a precise recounting of weapons, tactics, and strategy, this is a fantasy grounded in reality"
C. R. MacPhadrick, Resident C.R. MacPhadrick Scholar
