Christo-Pagano: Shadows of the Cross in the North is a work of fire and frost, of sagas and scripture, of shadows bending toward light. The North remembers in fragments. The myths of Baldr, Oðinn, and Loki do not reach us in untouched pagan voice but through vellum inked by baptized scribes. Far from erasing the old stories, Christianity preserved them—shaped, refracted, yet still alive. In their retelling, echoes of the gospel resound: Baldr the beloved son slain and promised to return, Oðinn pierced upon the tree, Loki bound until the world’s end, Ragnarök trembling with ...

In the shrouded corners of creation, beyond the reach of Gods and the grasp of mortal understanding, an ancient war wages, a war devoid of conquest, thirsting for power.

This war is threaded into the very fabric of reality, a relentless clash between order and chaos, light and darkness, belief and oblivion. It is a war that has enraged since the dawn of time and will persist until its dying breath.

The air was heavy with the metallic tang of blood, a crimson pool spreading across the cracked asphalt beneath him. Magnus stood over the lifeless body; his broad shoulders cloaked in the shadows of the alley. The dim streetlight overhead flickered, casting jagged patterns across his face. His long, reddish-blond hair clung to his sweat-dampened skin, framing the gleam of his piercing eyes—eyes that seemed to drink in the carnage, unflinching, calculating. The kill had been clean—efficient. The silver blade rested in his gloved hand, its edge still glistening with the essence of its ...
