A PAGAN WARRIOR STANDS OVER A CHRISTIAN PRIEST, BLOODY HAMMER CLENCHED IN HAND.
FAR BELOW, IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH, SOMETHING CRACKS.
Iceland, 1000 AD.
In a surprise move, the Althing parliament decides to make Christianity the official religion of the formerly pagan nation.
Many embrace the new faith, but a compromise allows anyone to continue honoring the old gods in private.
A few years later, modest farmer Kveldulf Thorbjornsson wants nothing more than to raise his son in peace, leaving his previous life as a mercenary adventurer in the past.
But fate has other plans.
Trying to protect his property, Kveldulf mistakenly kills a foreign priest, setting into motion events that could destroy the delicate balance between Christian and pagan.
and perhaps the very land itself.
For far from the farms and longhouses, deep in the barren, moon-like interior, dwells an ancient and mysterious power: the hulduf lk, the hidden people, shapers of stone and dreams.
Soon they too are drawn into the looming conflict between the old Norse gods and the new White Christ- and they must put their hope in young Sinmara, the only guardian in her time, to try to save them all.
THE STONE DOORS is the first, stand-alone novel in THE STONEBORN SAGA, a planned trilogy featuring rich characters, heart-pounding action, and inventive storytelling.
Combining real history with folklore and fantasy, THE STONE DOORS will appeal to fans of Bernard Cornwell (THE LAST KINGDOM), Ken Follett (THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH), and Marion Zimmer Bradley (THE MISTS OF AVALON).
