The Legend of Nine Winters Ragnar was never meant to challenge the gods. He was only a mortal warrior—a scarred man of Midgard known for surviving battles no ordinary man should have lived through. But when fate places Sif, a fallen goddess stripped of her power, in his path, a simple act of protection becomes the beginning of something far greater. What starts as an unlikely bond soon draws the attention of Asgard. And when the gods decide that a mortal has crossed a line he was never meant to cross, Ragnar makes a promise that will shape the Nine Realms: Nine winters. Nine realms. One final reckoning. To keep that promise, he must travel beyond the world of men, face creatures from forgotten legends, earn the respect of enemies, defy prophecies written long before his birth, and discover just how far a mortal can rise when he refuses to accept the fate chosen for him. Because Ragnar possesses no divine blood. No throne. No destiny of greatness. Only an iron will—and a dangerous habit of refusing to kneel. The Legend of Nine Winters is a Norse-inspired epic of love, war, family, gods, monsters, and one mortal man's war against fate itself.
