The World Tree

Rowan and her friends have been playing Lost Ages together for years. Upon completing the final quest in the game and defeating Morpheus the Imposter, the group finds itself transported to the real world of Lost Ages, south of the world tree Yggdrasil. Rowan and her friends are tasked with finding stolen Edda texts that were written by ancient skalds. In the first part of this multi-series, The Awakening, Rowan finds herself in a surreal situation with an odd elf king, a servant of Freyja, a drunken gnome, and, finally, her lover from Scotland, who is now not himself. In Part II, the crew faces Vafþrúðnir and must defeat him in a riddle joust, reminiscent of his game of wit with Odin. They also discover the world tree Yggdrasil in all its cunning beauty as well as what verse is contained in stolen poetry that never made it to Edda publications.
