The Wanderers have protected humankind for millennia against the forces of Darkness. Now, the last surviving Wanderer, Rafe Semmes, must again battle Rowle-the only Wanderer to ever go rogue and turn against his fellows-as Rowle attempts to kick-start Ragnar#65533;k, the battle foretold in Norse mythology as heralding the end of the world and doom for mankind and the gods themselves. Joining Rafe in his epic struggle to stop Rowle from opening a gateway to our world that would draw the old gods into the battle is the last Wanderer apprentice, Tess. Tess is a heroic young warrior fatally wounded on the battlefield in Afghanistan, saved in the moment of death by the Norse goddess of Destiny, Ver#65533;andi, so she may aid Rafe. Tess's training is far from complete, but the battle against Rowle won't wait. Together Rafe and Tess must overcome magical alliances and dark forces to turn back the hordes once again, or die trying.
