Please note, that Helheim is the last book for both the Ten Tears Chronicles and the Thief of Midgard series. The book should be read only after the reader is familiar with the two two series.
While the vast draugr horde of goddess Hel is conquering Midgard, and the Horn Gjallarhorn has been taken to the jotun-god Bolthorn by Maskan, now named Morag, and the Aesir and Vanir gods remain cut off from the Nine Worlds, what remains of Midgard must find champions and leaders to unite them.
The lands are shattered. The Red Midgard is half-burned land of refugees, the Verdant Lands bereft of kings and half its armies, the Golden City is a land of ghosts, and what remains is plotting against each other and with the dead kings and queens.
The sole speck of hope is that given to Urac of Lok by Maskan; a vial filled with drops of blood of Medusa. With those drops, one might be able to bring back some of those who have fallen in the war; Shannon, Dana, Gutty, Baduhanna, and others. Whoever might be raised face a daunting task of uniting Midgard in battle against the draugr, but still, the ultimate hope lies with the Gjallarhorn, the Horn of Fate, which might still release the gods to reap vengeance on those who stole the Nine Worlds from them.
The Horn lies in Nifleheim, and there, Hel herself is bargaining with the jotuns for the Horn. While victory in arms over the foe in Midgard might not be attainable, the quarrelsome allies must take the war to the land of snow and death, perhaps onto the very gates of Helheim itself to regain the Horn, and to deliver the Nine Worlds from the dead.
This is the last book in the Nine Worlds Series, and finishes both The Ten Tears Chronicles, and the Thief of Midgard series.
