The Complete Edition of Call of the Blood combines both of the previously released books. This story tells us the tale of Raif and his kinsmen Magnus. These noble Danish warriors occupy their lives with battle and their sworn duty to protect their homelands. Their latest assignment leads them to encounter forces outside their understanding and sets them on a collision course with one of the most feared gods of the old religion.
The Danish warriors Raif and Magnus live every moment of their lives in accordance with their pagan moral code. They know that their time among the land of the living will be short and that the honour they gain; will help create their own legend. The friends are joined by a free thinking Christian Monk who wishes to bridge the gap between the two dominant faiths of Europe. Together the three allies had sworn to fight against the insidious darkness that threatened the innocent souls of their homeland. This new mission by the Jarl of Riebe will affect the destiny and harmony of these three friends. The firm allies will discover that unseen and mysterious forces have decided to use their homeland as the place to start the beginning of the end.
Set in the eighth century, this story encompasses the tangled history and conflict of the era. The Call of the Blood is the first installment of the Sons of Asgard series. The series explores the conflicts and victories of the warriors against the backdrop of the Christian expansion into the ancient pagan lands of the Germanic peoples of Northern Europe. The Gods of a bygone age are not content to leave humanity alone and still wish to preserve Midgard as a world of humanity. Not every higher power wishes to preserve humanity and there are those who see the people of Midgard as little more than vermin. This book introduces us to the whims and desires of the Norse Gods of Dark Age Europe. If the evil is not stopped then countless millions will never be. Where Gods fail to act, sometimes the bravery of man can overcome insurmountable odds.
