A Father Among Gods: A Tale of Fate, Honor, and the Hidden Will of the Gods by M.A. Kirkeby

In a world of blood-oaths, harsh seas, and watchful gods, mercy may be the most dangerous choice of all. Eirik is a warrior, a husband, and a father—a man shaped as much by loyalty and restraint as by battle. But when he spares a foe in a world that honors ruthlessness, his choice draws the gaze of the gods themselves. What begins as one man’s struggle to protect his family soon becomes something far greater: a reckoning between mortal honor and divine design. As rivalries deepen, loyalties strain, and unseen forces gather beyond the world of men, Eirik must stand firm not only against enemies of flesh and steel, but against powers that would shape his fate for their own ends. A Father Among Gods is a sweeping Norse fantasy filled with family, war, prophecy, and the rising tension between men and the gods who watch them.
