After an apocalyptic event that thrusts the world into a new ice age, Calestia - a 17-year-old girl with a strong will - must learn to survive on a land infested with gangs, guns, and distrust. ***** Nobody knows what day it is anymore. Nobody knows the month, the day of the week...and the only way to tell time is by the slight change in the color of the sky from grey to black every twenty-four hours. If a day even is twenty-four hours anymore. The planet is dead. The people are dead. Snow falls down upon piles of bodies like the ash of a volcanic eruption. Except, the snow doesn't stop. It never does. It continues to fall and fall until you wonder if it is even possible for another flake to come down and land silently in your hair. But it does. They do. There are few survivors of what the remaining have started to call the end of the world. The Apocalypse. Few who are still brave or scared of death enough to face the torture that is living. I am one of those survivors. Book One of the Snow Series Highest ranking: #3 in Sci-Fi Watty's Shortlisted

After the devastating results of last year's hijacked Reenactment, Blader Thrym is currently in the middle of fighting the war between Domar Tros' chaos armies and Asgard's established reign. Between Tros and his apprentice's use of blood magic and rekkr soldiers, the einherjar are hard pressed to keep their holds on the Nine Worlds as civilians struggle to keep their loved ones safe. When Blader and his companions are chosen by the god Magni to reform the elite Mjolnir Squad, the first to be assembled since Dyr Gunar's rule, they are tasked with the mission of eliminating the two sorcerers commanding the forces of chaos. But with increased wolf and vikingr attacks, the squad's focus is split as the powers of the enemy grow.

In the second installment of the Einherjar Saga, Blader Thrym and his allies join the war against the sorcerers who invoke chaos in order to protect the world order. /**/ #1 Military Fantasy 6/18/23
