This is a collection of stories about the Norse Gods and Goddesses. These ancient stories were once told around the hearth fires all over Central and Northern Europe. They have been rewritten in a way that will bring them back to life and make them enjoyable for those who have studied the old texts, and for those who have no experience with the tales of Asgard. This edition contains: First Man and Woman, Idunna’s Abduction, Freyja Obtains Brisingamen, Thor’s Hammer is Stolen, The Folly of Alvis, The Giants Test Thor, The Arrival of Sleipnir and Odin Visits Vafthrudnir. Tales of Asgard, Vol. I gathers a sweeping collection of mythic stories inspired by the ancient Norse world, reimagined through the combined voices of W. S. Hurst and Kris Allison . Blending historical texture, poetic resonance, and cinematic storytelling, this volume guides readers through the Nine Realms—where gods walk in flesh, destiny is woven by unseen hands, and mortal lives intertwine with the threads of myth. From Odin’s far-seeing ravens to the strength and sorrow of the Norns, from the valor of shieldmaidens to the thunderous presence of storm-gods, each tale re-envisions familiar legends while offering fresh perspectives shaped by character depth, emotional nuance, and richly detailed worldbuilding. Heroism, wyrd, sacrifice, and the fragile bonds between fate and free will shape the narrative arc, giving readers both the epic grandeur of classic Norse storytelling and the intimacy of modern fantasy fiction. Tales of Asgard, Vol. I serves as both an homage to the surviving lore and an expansion of it—capturing the spiritual power, raw beauty, and enduring mystery of the Norse mythic tradition, setting the stage for the greater saga to unfold in future volumes.
