Excerpt from Valhalla: A Novel
And he had no wish to live. So as long as he was alone he was indifferent, but when all others had died, he was by himself no longer, and he knew it - the kingdom of Valhalla had begun but he was not afraid, for his nature had changed to meet the new order of things in the world around him.
The spirits began to work for him. 80 soon as he came down in the' morning he found food set out for him by invisible hands. If he wanted his horse, he had only to walk out to the stable and there it was ready with saddle and bridle on, while all animals seemed entirely under his control.
He now wished to see what had come to the country, to the world, and at once an unseen force urged him on.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is set at an unspecified time, following a cataclysmic event that destroys the majority of life on Earth, save for a select few survivors who are chosen by unseen forces. The author skillfully crafts a new world from the remnants of the old as we witness the transformation of Britain into a sort of mystical land known as Valhalla. The story's main focus is on two survivors, Henry Lear and Flora Malcolm, who are drawn together by fate to repopulate this version of Earth. The unseen powers grant the pair assistance in their endeavors, allowing them to harness supernatural abilities, which they use to secure food and shelter. It is through their struggles and growth that the author explores the themes of hope, resilience, and the power of love amidst adversity.
