Cecile Clark has no idea what she is doing. All of the training she's done, all of the combat, the numerous wars, couldn't prepare her for this. All of the deaths she went to: poisoning, stabbing, machine gun firing squad, mustard gas. None of it was helping her get through high school. For the last 900 years Cecil has been Anders, an immortal Viking granted reincarnation upon each death. The deal was that he would fight and die in order to become the greatest human warrior at the Norse end of the world: Ragnarok. But that was a long time ago, and the former Viking berserker has started to grow tired of waiting for the end of the universe. None of Cecil's considerable talents at fighting are going to help her when it comes to a possible relationship with the attractive history teacher, Ms. Barrington. 900 years of combat and death and she is woefully unprepared for life."
