Faolan, swore oath to assist in bringing Earth back to life once more. She pledged to try to awaken all realms in the universe, and in the end have them join as one. She took her oaths seriously, so why were some beings meddling, taunting, or distracting her? The nine realms of the universe, previously stuck in slumber, are nearly all awake. She is so close to victory she can nearly taste it, but as with all things tasty there is the possibility that bitterness will follow. The lowest realm of the universe gives Faolan the greatest pause. Loki the trickster, along with his daughter Hel, ruler of the underworld, lay crippled by Faolan's hand, but not annihilated. Hel is more determined than ever to gain favor from the Norse gods while proving her power remains intact, as Faolan is determined to stop her in her tracks. Odin selected The Chosen Ones to assist Faolan in her endeavors, and they would soon be put to test. As Hel summons heinous creatures from her realm to aid in her victory, Faolan gathers The Chosen Ones, and many others to her side. Who will build the most formidable army depends upon their cunning and skill.
