Wolfsangel, by MD Lachlan is a historical fantasy (first in a trilogy?) that combines the origin stories of the German rune and the first werewolf with cyclic battles between Norse gods.
It was a decent read but wavers with characterization throughout. I think it could have been much shorter and had greater impact. It has a pretty interesting twist on whether such terms as "evil" even apply to such beings as the Aesir. Odin in particular maliciously enjoys watching men fight in the same manner as men do with dogs.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
