Jacob Knight was a sheriff once—a good man with a badge, a horse named Tryscot, and a life worth living. Then came the demon named Xacks. It burned his world to ash and left him with nothing but scars and rage. Now Jacob rides a darker trail. Armed with silver, holy water, and a knife carved from bone, he hunts the monsters that tore his life apart. But the deeper he rides into the shadows, the more he feels them creeping under his skin. The rituals he learned, the hellhounds he raised, the cursed book whispering in his head—they’ve made him strong. Too strong. Maybe not human anymore.

Cheated of his glorious afterlife, Eric faces a terrible doom. If his companions can’t save him then he’ll be forever barred from Valhalla and rot in icy, hopeless Niflhiem.

Allied with a snobbish Druid Seer, who alone can help them rescue Eric, they strike a terrible bargain: to seek “the crack in the world,” a mystical doorway to the forbidden realms of the Norse Gods.
