When Neo-Vikings storm the British Museum, ARKANE agent Morgan Sierra is thrust into a race against an ancient prophecy of the end times.
Morgan came to examine a Viking artifact—an iron staff marked with the rune of awe. She expected a quiet day of academic research. Instead, she finds herself trapped as a Neo-Viking priestess calling herself the Valkyrie unleashes dark magic, animating long-dead warriors and commanding the very winds themselves.
The staff of Skara Brae is just the first piece. The Valkyrie seeks the Eye of Odin, a legendary relic said to grant visions of the apocalypse. According to Norse prophecy, when the aurora borealis lights southern skies and floods ravage the land, the time of Ragnarok draws near—the final battle that will end the world.
With the help of Blake Daniel, a researcher with the psychometric ability to read objects through touch, Morgan must decipher clues hidden in The Lindisfarne Gospels and track the Valkyrie across Britain. From the hallowed halls of the British Museum to the windswept shores of Iona, Morgan races to prevent an ancient ritual that could tear open the gates between worlds.
