The truth is buried for a reason.
Ansgar the Skald is sailing into the middle of an epic war between two legendary vikings. That's about to be the least of his problems.
Delving deep beneath Midgard? Battling trolls, sea monsters, and sorcerers? Just another season for Ansgar and the crew of the Sea Squirrel as they seek revenge for fallen friends.
This time, they will need to cross even more dangerous thresholds. The realm of the dead awaits, where secrets are easier to uncover. That deep wisdom has a price, though, and it might cost Ansgar his sanity.
It helps to have Haldor Skullsplitter and company watching his back. But it will take all Ansgar's powers of poetry and runes, a guardian spirit, and a shapeshifting sword to survive this adventure.
Rune to Ruin is book two in Gregory Amato's Spear of the Gods Saga, where the myths, magic, and monsters of the Viking Age are real.
