*NEW SHORT STORY*
In the Company of Elves
Every legend has a backstory...
In the wake of the Ragnarok Revolution, new alliances must be formed for mutual survival. When a Vanir named Ulfur finds himself lost on the battlefield and rescued by elves, he is forced to face some uncomfortable truths about his past, his kind, and the future of the entire hidden realm.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this short story. Guttormsson has created intriguing and likeable characters, and writes with a voice that welcomes and engages the reader. While reading I feel fully immersed in their world and am excited for the next instalment to see what happens to these characters and the land they inhabit.
