Produktbeschreibung
The chroniclers of the south, cloaked in their sun-warmed scriptoriums, declared that the age of gods had ended.

They lied.

Long before the bells of the White Christ rang out across the jagged northern fjordsbefore iron kings hacked their names into the living bone of Europethe sea still kept its ancient counsel. It spoke in the roar of winter gales and the hush of midnight dreams, in the shadowed flicker of raven wings skimming low over black water, in the slow, aching groan of ice splitting beneath its own weight. Those born to the cold learned its tongue early, and among them walked one who would force the deep to remember his name.

Eirik Skorne, Jarl of Vardhjem, the Wolf of Godspire.

To the starving, he was deliverance made fleshbroad-shouldered, storm-eyed, a man who could stare down famine and make it blink first. To the fearful, he was a walking curse, marked by something that watched from behind his gaze. He had led the Skorne clan through winters that devoured children, through plagues that turned proud warriors into whimpering husks, through nights when enemy longships burned so brightly the snow itself seemed aflame.

When the old godsOdin, Thor, Freyjafinally withdrew into silence, refusing even the smoke of sacrifice, Eirik did not despair.

He listened deeper.

Beneath the glassy surface of the mountain lake that fed Vardhjem's river, something vast and patient stirred. A voice older than runes, older than the glaciers that carved the fjords, rose in slow coils of thought. It promised strength enough to break any invader, wisdom enough to outlast any king. It asked only one thing in return.

But something else had found him first.

Long before the lake-god whispered, a quieter hunger had slipped into his bloodlike frostbite that begins as warmth. A thing with a name that could not be mentioned, yet always ravenous. It fed on certainty, on pride, on the bright edges of a man's soul, and it grew fatter with every victory Eirik claimed. His people saw only the triumphs. They did not see how his dreams darkened, how he woke with salt on his lips that was not from the sea.

This is the saga of the Skorne bloodline: of the war-hosts that crossed the whale-road with fire in their wakes, of the god that slumbered beneath the roots of the world, dreaming in slow pulses of cold light, and of the price exacted when a mortal dares to answer voices that were never meant for human ears.

It begins not with the clash of steel or the cry of ravens, but with a single ripple beneath unmoving waterone man standing alone on the shore at dusk, head tilted as though listening to a lover's breathand the fearless heart that leaned close enough to hear its true name.

Welcome, reader, to the beginning of the end.

Autorenporträt
Aryn Bats is a Canadian author of horror, psychological thrillers, serial killer crime fiction, dark gothic fantasy epics, and relentless suspense. A self-publishing indie writer, Aryn began releasing work publicly at age 48, though the passion for storytelling started at sixteen. After decades working in the trades, a severe back injury and long recovery shifted the course of his life. When the depression lifted following successful spine surgery, the urge to write returned stronger than ever.

Bats dusted off an old manuscript written as a teenager, expanded it into a full saga, and has not stopped since. Known for twisted serial-killer crime sagas like Grey Kong, Bah Bah Blacksheep, and Cry Little Sister, as well as Dark Fantasy Epics such as Brackengloom, also atmospheric stand-alone horrors such as The Coroner's Daughter, 1313, Marlowe's Grin.

Bats blends psychological depth with dark, immersive storytelling.

Readers who enjoy the unsettling tension of Stephen King, the psychological sharpness of Gillian Flynn, or the stylized darkness of shows like Hannibal, Dexter and Mindhunter will find a familiar chill in Aryn's work.

Bats has more than 30 new stories in development... proof that sometimes a second chance at life ignites a fiercer voice than the first.
