Darkness Forged by Matt Larkin




I know this story, and I enjoyed reading it again.

A group of brothers marry Valkyrie and when they leave, the brothers go forth each to search for his wife.

Their trials are all different, testing them in different ways. Theirs is a harsh world and to find their Valkyrie wife they must not only survive unsurmountable hardship, but actually find their wife as well.

Not every ending is as one would hope and I did find it sorrowful even though I knew the story.

"There are worse things than murder. Do not turn away. Walk into darkness, or dwindle to naught in half-light."

I received a free copy of this novel from the author and I'm happy to offer my fair and honest review.

Official description: 
  
Vengeance is wrought. Darkness is forged.

The greatest crafts on Midgard come from the dvergar realm of Nidavellir. Volund, a gifted smith and once apprentice to the dvergar, escaped their dark realm to find solace in the arms of a valkyrie.

Nine years of respite.

And then she was gone.

What would you do to reclaim your light?

But Volund’s reputation precedes him, and a cruel king knows the weapons Volund forges can win his wars. Imprisoned in the king’s forge, Volund’s only hope to escape is to find his wife. If he can’t, more than the forge’s darkness will overtake him.

Where will he turn when the light finally fades?

You’ll love this grim fantasy set in the Ragnarok Era because it retells the dark Norse legend of Volund.
