Forthcoming Novel: A Bridge Torn

A Bridge Torn is the forthcoming debut fantasy novel from JP Maranda. 

A sweeping tale where ancient prophecy collides with unexpected love, a young shapeshifting servant of the Norse gods and the wolf betrayed by her master become unwilling allies determined to stop the unmaking of the world.

Elska Brunner’s deepest secret has been discovered. The comfortable life in Asgard she had hoped for is shattered, leaving her with no choice but to accept her fate: to follow in her family’s footsteps as a servant to Tyr, the Norse god of war.

After she makes a shocking discovery that proves Ragnarok is closer than anyone suspects, she finds herself trapped on Earth, unable to warn her people. Desperate for answers that will help her find a way home, she journeys through the murk and the iciness of the underworld, fighting for survival with every step. But she gets more than she bargains for when she meets Fenrir, the wolf once left for dead by Tyr on a lonesome isle at the end of the world. As she struggles to reconcile heartbreaking discoveries about her family and their gods, the clock is ticking for the unlikely pair as they race against strange and terrible forces descending on Asgard for the prophesied final battle.

But none of the prophecies have foretold of this fragile new alliance that might just redeem the world, or hasten its ending for all…
