Rhymer: Hel

A Wild Chase Through Elizabethan England

Thomas Rimor, a man hunted by time and bound by destiny, roams the sinister pathways of Þagalwood—a haunted realm where grotesque trees whisper his name and prey upon the unwise. Armed with a mysterious ördstone and fueled by a relentless mission to thwart the sinister Yvag elves, Thomas risks his life to rescue the helpless teinds, victims destined for sacrifice in the fathomless pit of Hel.

But the woods hold secrets as dangerous as the Yvags themselves. When a spectral figure emerges from the depths, leaving a trail only the ördstone can illuminate, Thomas is drawn into a deadly mystery that challenges the limits of his courage and cunning. Poisonous blooms, traps within traps, and a shocking betrayal await him in a perilous game of survival against ancient powers.

With each step, Thomas ventures closer to uncovering the truth of his enemy’s dark designs—and the shadowy forces that may already control his fate.
