Book excerpt: After many long years of serving as a squire, Odin returns to the capitol to participate in the annual knighting ceremonies—where victory, and the title of knight, comes from a test of arms. Confident that he will win, Odin prepares himself for the next phase of his life. But higher powers would rather see him fail. When he is stripped of his title by the court, Odin packs his bags and prepares for his journey home. But before he can leave, he is summoned by the king himself, who offers him the chance to secure his place in history by becoming the king’s champion. Things seem well—too well, even. And after a shocking attempt on the king’s life reveals that there are dark forces amassing in the lands beyond the kingdom, it will be up to Odin, and old friends, to not only set right what is wrong, but save the kingdom.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable BookAn ALA Notable Book "Original and illuminating." --The Washington Post What draws our species to war? What makes us see violence as a kind of sacred duty, or a ritual that boys must undergo to "become" men? Newly reissued in paperback, Blood Rites takes readers on an original journey from the elaborate human sacrifices of the ancient world to the carnage and holocaust of twentieth-century "total war." Ehrenreich sifts deftly through the fragile records of prehistory and discovers the wellspring of war in an unexpected place -- not in a "killer instinct" unique to the males of our species, but in the blood rites early humans performed to reenact their terrifying experiences of predation by stronger carnivores. Brilliant in conception and rich in scope, Blood Rites is a monumental work that continues to transform our understanding of the greatest single threat to human life.
