Book I of III - A World Void of Hope
A tale forged from Nordic myth.
Kief, an assassin, is hired by the King of Atune to exterminate the Brotherhood of Bogus. A sect devoted to the god of Excess.
But as he hunts them down, Kief encounters Von—the goddess of hope. A moment that could change everything... or nothing at all.
Vatngaard is a realm, where worship and belief gives rise to gods. A vain, self-important, self-serving bunch. Because they are, after all, what we make them.

Book II of III- A World Void of Death
Vos the God of Misery won.
Hel the Goddess of Death is gone.
With the gods in disarray, the burden of saving existence falls to two broken survivors:
Lilja Frey, a mortal woman who died but was brought back bearing a terrible gift. Bjorn, the Last Elect of the war god Tyr, a divine warrior whose faith is shattered.
Hunted by the agents of Misery and haunted by their own pasts, together, Lilja and Bjorn must find a way to restore balance.
But the price of freeing Death may be more than either of them is willing to pay.

Remember the back of Book I, where I promised there would be no dragons in this story?
I lied.
Welcome to A World Void of Truth, a collection of histories, myths, and buried secrets from Vatngaard. Some of these stories were requested by readers. Others demanded to be told. Within these pages you will find the origin of gods, the fall of a town, the confession of a warrior, a murder solved with a pig, and the voice of the last survivor of a dead civilization. You wanted the truth. Be careful what you wish for. Truth and justice don't always go hand in hand.
