Books like A gathering of ravens by Scott Oden
Grimnir, a creature known as the Corpse‑maker and Life‑quencher, is the final survivor of a line of monsters feared since the Elder Days. He sets out from Denmark, drawn by revenge against a Dane who slew his brother, into a world where the old pagan traditions are fading and a new Christian faith rises. Along the way he takes a young Christian hostage as guide, traversing war‑torn southern England and the green shores of Ireland to the Viking stronghold of Dubhlinn. In Dubhlinn a confrontation between the Old Ways and the New faith looms; Grimnir must decide whether to ally with the Christian king of Ireland to achieve his vengeance or to hold his hatred in check and let it fade.
