I am currently reading Seith and Sword, a Norse fantasy adventure set in the Fate of the Norns Ragnarok Role paying universe. It is a tail of misunderstandings propaganda and bloodshed where all the characters are cast in shades of grey.

Seith and Sword: Revenge comes on the black wings of seith magic. Steinarr the Neibelung is killed, leaving the thralls Vanadis and Gamli as the sole survivors. When Steinarr's nephew, Hardegon the Trusted, stumbles upon his town's gruesome remains, when he discovers the thralls' Volsung roots, it rekindles an ancient feud. Vanadis and Gamli flee Hardegon's wrath, sailing on winds that take them from the shores of Pohjola to the Baltic sea. Their desperation mingles with Hardegon's fury and they cut a swath of chaos across the East. Banished from Alands, loathed in Kalevala, and feared in Skane, they make a legion of foes. Their path crosses the likes of Queen Louhi, Bjorn Eriksson and Gorm the Old. All the while Vargeisa the Fire Wolf uses them to her own ends. This is a tale of vengeance, justice, honor and family.The struggle of Gods and Jotun expressed in the mortal realm, during the last golden days of Harald Fair Hair's reign. The story of Vanadis the Cursed and Gamli the Serpent, a portent of darker things to come.
