A few useful answers

Before you set out.

Can I read a sample first?

Yes. The prologue and Chapter One are available through the free email sample link above. You do not need to buy the book to request them.

Is this mythology or a new story?

The King’s Road is Christopher Hannon’s original Norse-inspired fiction, exploring the people and civilization before later generations remember them as mythology. It is not a historical source or a translation of the Eddas.

Can I order directly yet?

Direct paperback checkout is not open yet. When enabled, the checkout will show the full amount, including shipping and applicable tax, before payment. The Kindle and paperback links take you to Amazon.

Where will my order ship from, and when?

The direct-order shipping area, charges and dispatch window have not yet been confirmed. No delivery date is promised. Orders placed through Amazon follow Amazon’s displayed terms and delivery estimates.

Do I have to join the newsletter?

No. Newsletter signup is optional and separate from the shop. Saving a cart does not subscribe you or trigger marketing emails.

Is there a signed edition?

No signed edition is offered in this shop unless it is explicitly listed as a separate available product. Please do not assume a standard paperback will be signed.

Hearth Presence

A quiet way to share the world with other visitors, only if you choose to join.

Not joined. Presence requires JavaScript and a configured service.

Joining sends only your chosen area and a temporary session token to Hearth Presence. No name, reading history, precise position, or saved visitor profile. Small groups stay private: an area appears only when at least three sessions have joined. No exact visitor counts are shown.

Join also loads Cloudflare Turnstile to check for automated requests. Presence ends when you leave, hide this tab, navigate away, or use Clean View. If a request is lost, it expires within 90 seconds. Returning never rejoins automatically.

This shows participating sessions, not everyone visiting either website. It is not a promise that three different people are present.
