Description
Midgard is a funeral pyre. Ragnarök, the doom of the gods, has brought the Empire of the Heavens to ruin. For some, the harrowing promises a new beginning. Mother Jörð will rise again, and new gods will return to the golden tables of old. But Iðunn Lind, keeper of the great World Tree Yggdrasil, no longer believes in ancient prophecy or the hand of fate. Across the veil, Churchwarden Michaels is stuck dealing with his own personal Ragnarök - and just how to save his neck now that three Viking crosses have appeared overnight at St. Mary's. When the boundaries between realities fracture, the two guardians discover that the gods not only play dice with the Vikingverse, they are rolling snake-eyes. In this new chapter of the Vikingverse, the tapestry of time unfurls in deadly new ways.

Advance Praise
"I was drawn into Sharpe's alternate history with such force while reading Loki's Wager that I nearly tumbled into the book headfirst. His masterful recrafting of Western history in a world fully infused with Viking mythos stirred my blood and I want more."
- Joshua Gillingham, Author of The Gatewatch
"Sci-fi meets Norse saga in Mr. Sharpe's incredible tales. If you've ever wondered what the future might look like had the Vikings conquered the world, do yourself a favor and read Loki's Wager and its predecessor, The All-Father Paradox. It does not get more imaginative than this!"
- Eric Schumacher, Author of Hakon's Saga
"Sharpe continues to colour in the sprawling, Alternate Reality sci-fi Vikingverse with imagination, humour, and intricate detail between timelines, cultures, and eras."
