Introduction

The Armies of Hel are not the legions of Odin, no noble warriors drinking in Valhalla. Hel's warriors are the craven, the ones who left their companions to die. Those who died in their beds remembering cowardice and ill deeds. Those who committed murder and didn't tell of it.

Valder stipped the flesh from Angurs bones, his eyes alight with hunger and rage. There was no righteous burial for his fallen friends, Valder fed from their corpses as the sea tossed around him, knowing he would not die of hunger on the becalmed waters...
