After months of writing and planning, long nights spent checking and then re-checking; the first book of J. Junior Page's exciting new Dark Age work of historical fiction is finally available to read. The E-Book is currently available exclusively through Amazon for the Kindle reader and retails for a price comparable to an average cup of Coffee or half the price of a pack of Cigarettes. The Author hopes that the series of books can undo much of the confusion caused from the last couple of outings of Thor in the Marvel Comics version of the gods of the Northern Tradition. John Junior enjoy's the fiction of their version but hopes to correct a few errors that are far removed from the heathen faith of Europe.
The book is set in a Europe that is struggling to reassert it's identity after years of anarchy. Since the might of the Roman Empire came to an end, the people of Europe have had to endure constant conflict and religious persecution. Christianity wishes to spread it's message to the north of Europe and the Islamic faith seeks to spread the word of their faith to the lands already Christian.
In a small region which are now part of modern Germany and Denmark, the defenders of the pagan world notice the threat to their way of life by king Charlemagne and his great Frankish Empire. Against the backdrop of the great Christian king's war against the Saxon's our story unfolds.

In the relative isolation of the Danish western coast, two warriors and their Christian friend notice signs of interference by creatures that belonged to their dark pagan history. Soon our heroes are locked in a battle between the gods of the Aesir and their enemies outside the realm of Midgard.
Where murder and ruination run riot, the forces of good and light will choose their own heroes to battle against the darkness as it rises.
Call of the Blood: Part One looks inside the desires of the major powers within the nine realms, as we stumble every closer to the final battle at Ragnorak.
Has destiny been defeated? And are all prophecies fixed? Only by reading the full book will you truly appreciate the journey of gods and monsters towards the end of everything!
