Heiðmyrkur

In Heiðmyrkur, Ingi Markússon brings to a close the epic that began with Skuggabrúin and continued in Svikabirta — novels that have earned wide and well-deserved acclaim. Heiðmyrkur binds the trilogy together in a dark narrative poised between fantasy and science fiction: a tale of friendship and revenge; life and eternity; consciousness and machine; light, darkness, and the shadows cast by humankind.

A decade after the events of Svikabirta, sinister dreams plague Dimmbrá. Deep within the bowels of the earth, she encounters the most secret chambers of the ancient magic. Hnikar wanders the polar wastes until he discovers a new home far to the south; unknowingly, he summons Dimmbrá to him — with unforeseen consequences. On Bifröst, Indra comes of age, preparing to descend and bend the world to her will. In the background lies the origin of the star-eyed people, the extinction of humankind, and the final fate of the Shadow Bridge.

In Heiðmyrkur, Ingi Markússon concludes the saga that began with Skuggabrúin and continued in Svikabirta — a trilogy woven from darkness at the boundary of fantasy and science fiction, a story of loyalty and vengeance; life and everlastingness; the mind and the machine; and the light, the darkness, and the shadows within us all.
