Rose (mockingturtle) | 2 comments So I read this one about 4 years ago... I believe it was part of a series, but one book sticks out in my mind. It was very centered around Norse mythology. Unfortunately I can't remember much about the plot. I have a vague feeling it was about someone trying to seek redemption, but I'm definitely not sure about that. All I remember for sure is a horselike creature called a Valraven. All my Google searches on Valraven have not turned up the book I'm looking for, though :(

I remember it was in the adult fiction section of my library. Also, it was located maybe a few shelves to the left of Mercedes Lackey's books, if that gives a general range of the author's last name? I also remember reading another book by the author (although I think it was co-written) about wolves.

Thanks in advance for anyone who replies!

I found this descrip:
Kirkus:
Norse fantasy/cyberpunk/apocalyptic science fiction, from Bear (Hell and Earth, 2008, etc.).Following Ragnarok, the Norse Twilight of the Gods, the only survivors were the valkyrie (warrior-angel) Muire, Kasimir the valraven (two-headed flying steed) and Mingan, a dark-angel wolf. Civilization eventually rose again, developed advanced technology, and again destroyed itself in a futile war. Now, only one city, Eiledon, remains, surrounded by desolation, kept functioning by Thjierry Thorvaldsdottir, the Technomancer, using a combination of technology, magic and who-knows-what. (view spoiler)
