It's been five hundred years since the end of the world and society
has rebuilt itself anew. The old Norse gods are no longer revered.
Their tales have been banned. Magic is outlawed, and a new religion
- the Order - has taken its place. In a remote valley in the north,
fourteen-year-old Maddy Smith is shunned for the ruinmark on her
hand - a sign associated with the Bad Old Days. But what the
villagers don't know is that Maddy has skills. According to
One-Eye, the secretive Outlander who is Maddy's only real friend,
her ruinmark - or runemark, as he calls it - is a sign of Chaos
blood, magical powers and gods know what else... Now, as the Order
moves further north, threatening all the Worlds with conquest and
Cleansing, Maddy must finally learn the truth to some unanswered
questions about herself, her parentage, and her powers. From the
bestselling author of CHOCOLAT and THE GOSPEL OF LOKI comes a
fantastical tale of magic, adventure and Norse mythology.
