ZØE: Gathering of the fallen (ZØE - Blue Eyes) Paperback – February 5, 2026

In the hush before the horns blow, one woman hears thunder in her sleep. Zoe—Blue Eyes—has fought too many winters to trust gods who let children drown. Yet a nightmare drags her awake with visions: halls gutted, goats turned inside-out, and eight fallen deities waiting like dogs on a leash. She rides south to fetch her daughter Torvi, and together they stitch an army out of exiles: a one-legged giant, a tavern witch who cooks with fire in her veins, a wolf-god who lost an ear to his own pack, a wine-drunk playwright who turns fear into punchlines, a brothel queen who kills with whispers, a blind weaver who sells death by thread, and a drowned goddess who collects corpses like coins. By sunrise every banner bears the same colour—blue, sharp, unforgiving. The fjord fills with ships and snow; the mountains echo with axe-song. Romans, Saxons, Slavs, Celts—none of them matter. The real war isn’t for land. It’s for the last blue-eyed kid who’ll still breathe after the world tilts. Gathering of the Fallen is Viking grit soaked in Greek fire: one mother, one daughter, eight fallen gods, and a thousand throats that’ll roar when the ravens land. It ends when every promise is kept—or when every oath is buried with the bones. Read more
