Vikingverse: Old Norse for Modern Times

The Vikingverse is a parallel timeline where the Norse rule seas and stars with restless fleets and Christianity has been put to the Viking sword.

In a series of interwoven sagas, the storied heroes of mankind emerge in new and brutal guises drawn from the pages of mythology, fighting for a future stretched to breaking point by the ever-present peril of Ragnarok.

Be Warned: the meek shan’t inherit this Earth!

reviews

Let Ian Stuart Sharpe take you on a world building journey through alternate viking history, you won't be disappointed

I found the book to be captivating and intelligently written. The storyline is gripping and brings the Viking Age to life.

Ian Sharpe knows his stuff, and proves it again in the threads of this narrative, which would even keep the Norns on their toes.

about the book

NEVER BE LOST FOR WORDS AGAIN…WITH THIS BOOK OF LOST WORDS.

Have you ever wanted to wield the silver tongue of Loki – or to hammer home your point like a Thundergod?

Old Norse is the language of legends and the stuff of sagas, the inspiration for Tolkien and Marvel, for award-winning manga and epic videogames. It is the language of cleverly crafted kennings, blood-curdling curses and pithy retorts to Ragnarök.

Old Norse for Modern Times gives you the perfect phrase for every contemporary situation –

from memorable movie quotes (“We’re going to need a bigger boat.” Þurfa munu vér skip stærra)
to battle-cries to yell on Discord (“Do I look to be in a gaming mood?” Sýnisk þér ek vera í skapi til leika?),
from mead hall musings (“This drink, I like it! ANOTHER!” Líkar mér drykkr þessi! ANNAN!)
to tried-and-tested pickup lines (“Nice tattoo!“  Fagrt er húðflúrið“).

It is the perfect guide for Vikings fans, whether they are re-enactors, role-players, or simply in love with Ragnar.

VALHALLA AWAITS…but in the meantime, seize the helmet by the horns (not a thing) and unleash your inner viking.

Ian Stuart Sharpe likes to imagine he is descended from Guðrum, King of the East Angles, although DNA tests and a deep disdain for camping suggest otherwise. He is the author of two novels set in his alternate Vikingverse, the All Father Paradox and Loki’s Wager. As a child he discovered his love of books, sci-fi and sagas: devouring the works of Douglas Adams, J.R.R. Tolkien, Terry Pratchett and George MacDonald Fraser alongside Snorri Sturluson and Sigvat the Skald. He once won a prize at school for Outstanding Progress and chose a dictionary as his reward, secretly wishing it had been an Old Norse phrasebook. It took him thirty years, but he has finally realised his dream.
