Between east and west, the great God's Chasm separated the clans of the west and the unknown lands to the east. Over hundreds of years, not a soul that crossed this chasm would ever return or be heard from again. None of the clans in the west dared to venture out into the unknown because of the fear that this instilled. Instead, they guarded the God's Chasm so that nobody would be lost to the abyss. Jarl had been tasked with this duty. He and his clan, the Rakki guarded a short section of the Chasm and swore to do whatever they could to prevent anyone from crossing over to the other side. One quiet night, the arrival of a baby from across the Chasm handed Jarl a decision to make: doom this child and hope for the mercy of his people, or keep her a secret and raise her as his own. Sylfia would grow up never knowing where she came from, but inevitably she will be pulled back as prophesied to the lands from which she came. This secret settlement was a world of magic, though they could not have known that they would never be allowed to leave once they entered this forbidden place. That is unless Sylfia was blessed with a secret of her own. With great battles and struggles against Gods and beasts the likes of which the mortal realms have never seen, Sylfia and Jarl will need to make more difficult decisions than any other mortal has ever had to make; after all, what is good for the many may not necessarily be good for the few. Follow Jarl and Sylfia on their journey to try to prevent Ragnarök by conquering the nine rings of Helheim itself and discover which of the Gods will be helpful and which will look to hinder them in their task. This is a story of myth, magic and the bonds of family and friendship, set against the backdrop of the norse people and their beliefs. The story of Baldur's Children is an epic Historical Fiction that has taken influence from Norse Mythology and contains divine powers, mythical creatures, Gods and other beings.
