Hi, I'm Erik!

About the Author: Erik Thorgest

Erik Thorgest is an Army veteran and author drawn to stories of warriors, ancient gods, and the thin boundary between history and legend.

His military experience shaped his interest in leadership, loyalty, sacrifice, and the bonds forged between those who face danger together. These themes lie at the heart of his writing, where brutal battles and Norse mythology meet deeply human struggles over duty, destiny, and survival.

Erik is the author of Steel and Seidr and co-author of The Valkyrie’s Path alongside his incredible wife Amanda. Through his novels, he invites readers into a world of shield walls, old magic, hard choices, and heroes who must decide what they are willing to sacrifice for the people and causes they serve.

When he is not writing, Erik continues to explore military history, Norse mythology, and the legends that have inspired generations of storytellers.
