Book : Norse Gods, Monsters & Myths

The VKNG brand isn't just about style. It is about creating authentic pieces that reflect Viking culture and Norse religion and philosophy. That is why we spend a lot of time researching and sharing insights into these subjects on our blog.

Following popular demand from the community, we have put together a book on Norse mythology based on our blog. It is 100 pages sharing bite-size articles on the gods, jotunn, nine realms, and most important stories from Norse mythology.

The book makes a great addition to any gift you buy on the VKNG site or a nice addition to your personal library to pick up any time you want a quick shot of Viking philosophy.
