Overview: Keith R.A. DeCandido has a long history with Marvel characters in prose. From 1994 to 2000, Boulevard Books published a range of more than 50 Marvel novels and short-story anthologies, for which Keith served as the editorial director. Keith also contributed to the line on the writing side, penning short stories for the anthologies The Ultimate Spider-Man, The Ultimate Silver Surfer, Untold Tales of Spider-Man, The Ultimate Hulk, and X-Men Legends, and also collaborating with José R. Nieto on the novel Spider-Man: Venom’s Wrath. In 2005, Keith wrote another Spidey novel, this one a solo book for Simon & Schuster entitled Down These Mean Streets.
This also isn’t Keith’s first foray into Norse myth, as he’s written a cycle of urban fantasy stories set in Key West, Florida, featuring a young woman named Cassie Zukav who is a Dis, one of the fate goddesses, and has encounters in that island town with many folks from the Norse pantheon (including Thor, Loki, and Odin). Those stories can be found in the online zine Buzzy Mag; the anthologies Apocalypse 13, Bad-Ass Faeries: It’s Elemental, Out of Tune, Tales from the House Band Volumes 1 & 2, and Urban Nightmares; and the short-story collections Ragnarok and Roll: Tales of Cassie Zukav, Weirdness Magnet and Without a License: The Fantastic Worlds of Keith R.A. DeCandido.
Keith’s other work includes bunches of other tie-in fiction based on TV shows (Star Trek, Supernatural, Doctor Who, Sleepy Hollow), games (World of Warcraft, Dungeons & Dragons, StarCraft, Command and Conquer), and films (Serenity, Resident Evil, Cars), as well as original fiction, most notably the "Precinct" series of high fantasy police procedurals that includes five novels (Dragon Precinct, Unicorn Precinct, Goblin Precinct, Gryphon Precinct, and the forthcoming Mermaid Precinct) and more than a dozen short stories.

2. Sif: Even Dragons Have Their Endings:
In the action-packed Sif: Even Dragons Have Their Endings, Marvel’s Tales of Asgard trilogy tells of the adventures of another of the realm’s greatest warriors.
When the nearby village of Flodbjerge is terrorized by a dragon, one of its citizens races to Asgard seeking the help of Thor. But with the God of Thunder incapacitated following a battle, it is Sif who must answer the call—much to the villager’s dismay. Despite being one of Asgard’s most skilled fighters, Sif is used to being doubted.
She’s also used to overcoming those doubts.
There’s a reason Sif is known as the Unstoppable. But both her reputation and her life are on the line as she faces the fearsome dragon, Oter. The face-off won’t be straightforward either—the winged beast has a secret that Sif will have to unravel in order to defeat him before the village and its people go up in flames.
Sif: Even Dragons Have Their Endings will be followed shortly by the final volume of the Tales of Asgard trilogy, Warriors Three: Godhood’s End, also written by Marvel veteran and popular fantasy author Keith R.A. DeCandido.
3. Warriors Three: Godhood’s End:
Marvel’s Tales of Asgard trilogy comes full circle in its final volume, Godhood’s End, as the Frost Giants once again set their sights on the Aesir. With Thor and Sif still healing from wounds sustained during earlier campaigns, it is up to the Warriors Three to save Asgard.
Throughout the Nine Worlds, giants are known more for their brawn than their brains, but the Frost Giant Thjasse has come up with an inspired plan: defeat the Aesir not by ending their lives in battle, but by stealing their precious Golden Apples of Immortality and letting time take its course.
Now, with the Aesir’s fountain of youth run dry, Thor and Sif are taking even longer to recover from their battles with Frost Giants and dragons, and many of their compatriots are beginning to suffer injuries and infirmities. And so the Warriors Three engage the help of Loki, whose spell will keep Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg on their feet long enough for one final defense of Asgard.Is Odin’s reign over? Or will the Warriors Three prove that it takes more than brute force and a little bit of ingenuity to topple fighters worthy of sharing Odin’s table?
Find out in the riveting conclusion to Marvel’s Tales of Asgard Trilogy—an epic adventure that will have readers starting over with the first volume.
