Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Torvald Eiriksson was a warrior who believed there were laws even grief could not break. The dead belonged to the dead, the gods kept their own counsel, and a man endured what fate placed upon his shoulders. Then plague came to his village and took everything from him. His wife, Solveig, died beneath the furs of their bed. His young son, Njal, followed her into the smoke of the funeral pyre. Torvald buried them with honour, spoke the words required of the living, and tried to accept the silence left behind.But the silence did not last.In the nights that follow, Torvald hears his child crying beneath the floorboards. His wife's voice calls from the shadows of the house, cold, lost, and afraid. Against the warnings of elders, seers, and warriors who know better than to disturb the roads of death, Torvald seeks out a corpse-seer buried beneath an old mound. From her dead mouth comes the legend of a forbidden passage hidden beneath Midgard: the Ninth Gate of Hel.It is said that the gate can be opened by the living and that one soul may be taken back from the realm of the dead. Only one.Driven by love, grief, and a rage too deep for reason, Torvald gathers a band of broken souls around him: Astrid, a feared rune-worker with blood on her past; Yrsa, a savage shieldmaiden haunted by the sister she failed to save; Ketil, a grave-robber hunted by the dead he has disturbed; and Halfdan, an old oath-breaker desperate to kneel before the son he betrayed. Together they travel through frozen rivers, corpse roads, barrow-haunted valleys, and the black reaches beneath the roots of Yggdrasil, where the boundary between Midgard and Helheim grows thinner with every step.Yet Hel is not the monster Torvald expects. Her realm is cold, merciless, and ancient, but it has laws for a reason. Something older than the gods waits beneath the Ninth Gate, feeding on grief, wearing the voices of the dead, and drawing the living closer with every desperate prayer. If Torvald opens the passage, he may not save his family. He may unleash a tide of corrupted dead upon the world.Brutal, tragic, and steeped in Norse myth, THE NINTH GATE OF HEL is a dark journey into the underworld, where love becomes dangerous, grief becomes a weapon, and one warrior must face the terrible truth that some doors were never meant to be opened.
