The Gates of Hel: A fantasy retelling of Norse mythology (The Ragnarök Prophecy) by Matt Larkin

No one returns from Hel. With Baldr’s death, Ragnarök has begun. Now, Odin has sent Hermod to the farthest reaches of creation to bring back his son’s soul. The son of a valkyrja, Hermod alone can make such a trek. But to do so he must descend into horrors beyond imagination. Meanwhile, Odin begins an even more desperate gambit: to challenge the Norns themselves for control of Fate. Yet his journey will offer him knowledge he could not him imagined nor ever would have wanted … This total reboot of Gods of the Ragnarok Era replaces and expands on that Norse-inspired epic. Mythology, horror, and dark fantasy meld together in an ice age. The Eschaton Cycle begins. Note: This book contains adult themes and mature content
