This is a beginner's book as well as an entertaining one, so no matter if you are new to all things Norse or a follower of Norse, you are sure to enjoy these short stories "with a new twist" that lie ahead. Each story is different yet the lives of each character are linked to the beings who lived during those ancient and magical times. The why and how unfolds one story at a time in this fun novella. So begin your journey here and step into the worlds of Odin, Thor, Loki, and others and learn how their worlds helped to create ours today. Then once you arrive at The End, you will also arrive at a clearer understanding of many things Norse and some of the beings within the myths.

If they are brave enough to learn they can discover the answers to these questions and more .
