Excerpt from Valhalla: A NovelAnd he had no wish to live. So as long as he was alone he was indifferent, but when all others had died, he was by himself no longer, and he knew it - the kingdom of Valhalla had begun but he was not afraid, for his nature had changed to meet the new order of things in the world around him.The spirits began to work for him. 80 soon as he came down in the' morning he found food set out for him by invisible hands.
