Un anciano con un solo ojo, con un manto gris y sombrero de ala ancha, apoyándose de un bastón. Un vagabundo que aparece cuando menos se le espera, trayendo triunfo o perdición. El dios de la profecía, la poesía y el destino. Un cambiaformas. Un hechicero. El dios Odín es una figura dramática en la mitología nórdica y es aún parte del imaginario popular. Ha sido la inspiración para figuras como Gandalf el Gris, de J.R.R. Tolkien, y todavía figura en literatura moderna tan variada como los cómics de Marvel o la novela de Neil Gaiman American Gods (2001).

El sultán Shahriar descubre que su esposa lo engaña y la decapita. Todavía lleno de rencor, cada día desposa a una mujer a la que luego ordena matar por la mañana.

Durante la noche de bodas, la muchacha inicia un relato que deja fascinado a su marido, pero que interrumpe justo antes del amanecer.

Resuelto a evitar el Ragnarök, Odín implora a la diosa Freya que le desvele los secretos de la magia vane, el seid. Después de muchos ruegos, Freya accede finalmente a las demandas del dios a cambio de recibir la mitad de los caídos en el Valhalla. De este modo, Odín logra, con ayuda del seid, comunicarse con el árbol Yggdrasil y el gran fresno le revela la existencia de una nueva forma de magia: las runas, los arcanos símbolos que encierran los poderes que impregnaban el Ginnungagap, el gran vacío que antecedió a la creación. Mas para hacerse con ese valiosísimo lenguaje, Odín habrá de caminar sobre el filo de la vida y de la muerte.

Morwin is the last Keeper of the Grove, marked as a traitor and hunted by the empire she once protected. When a devastating Red Plague begins to spread, she leaves her sacred post and enters the wild wetlands of the Fens, searching for allies before the world unravels. Instead, she finds suspicion, hostility —and Jonathan. A battle-hardened warrior with a disgraced past, Jonathan has no patience for outsiders or the danger that usually follows them.

London, late nineteenth century. The fog never quite lifts, and neither does the unease. Zenon is a Polish émigré novelist–successful, rational, settled in his skepticism. When his circle of London acquaintances falls under the spell of Spiritualism, he watches their séances with detached amusement. He is not the kind of man to be taken in by suggestion and theater. Then he meets Daisy. Daisy is not easily explained. Magnetic, dangerous, seemingly capable of bending the laws of physics to her will, she draws Zenon toward her with a force he cannot account for and cannot resist.

THE BROKEN PANTHEON: WAKEWhen the old gods wake up in a world of screens and feeds, some adapt. Some fight back. And some learn to build something entirely new. Lilith wakes up on the floor of an abandoned church with less power than she remembers and more work than she wants.

But she's not fighting back with miracles —she's fighting back with chairs, consent, and the radical act of speaking in first person.
