DeathQuest

Aging Eric Bjornson seeks his 'glorious death' to enter Valhalla ... but his Christian companions refuse to sacrifice their lives to insure his death!

Determined to earn his ride with the Valkyrie, aging Eric Bjornson sails into England ... chased by 7,000 Norse warriors. Escaping their siege, and hunted by Saxon nobles, Eric leads his companions on his fatal quest to start an unneeded war.
Yet, assaulted by terrors older than Norse mythology, camaraderie swells, and the Christians decide their only hope of survival is to convert pagan Eric, to convince him to give up his eternity in Valhalla.
Eric refuses their attempts, and soon his Norse ways infuriate his gentle companions. Yet, before they abandon him, an aged Saxon prostitute and a snobbish Druid priest crush their hopes ... and force them onto a quest to enter the legendary realm of Yggdrasil, home of the Norse Gods!
