In the tradition of The Lord of the Rings, Dune, and the Cthulhu Mythos, Wyrdcasters is a sci-fi/fantasy universe inspired by Norse mythology.
Wyrdcasters: A Tale of Chaos in a Dying Realm
The first novel in The Wyrdcasters Saga — scheduled for release in late 2026.
Discover the secret origins of the Norse gods in Wyrdcasters: A Tale of Chaos in a Dying Realm — the first installment in the imaginative sci-fi/fantasy epic.
The planet Heim stands on the brink of annihilation. The Aesirian pursuit of unrestrained technological progress has opened the Helmouth — a catastrophic rift that unleashes the Frost, spreading monstrosities across the land and rendering Heim's greatest technology useless. Aesiri's rival nations press from without, traitors plot from within, and lurking shadows attempt to manipulate the fate of the universe. Amidst this turmoil, young god-to-be Odin is thrust into the battle for survival. With the Helmouth falling into enemy hands, Odin and his allies must rally the Wyrdcasters — the legends of Norse mythology — whose combined might may yet not be enough to halt Heim’s descent into oblivion.
On the Series
The Saga of the Wyrdcasters is the central mythopoeic work of the Wyrdcasters universe — an epic unfolding across nine volumes, beginning with the opening trilogy. Inspired by Norse mythology and born of visions encountered during a profound break from ordinary reality, the Wyrdcasters saga poses a singular, enduring question — a question the author anticipates may take a lifetime, or longer, to answer:
What if the Norse gods were real — an advanced race from a forgotten age — but ancient humanity, due to their limited undestanding, misinterpreted their histories as myth?
Rather than a strict retelling of the Eddas, the narrative extrapolates from the Norse cosmology, exploring themes of spiritual evolution and corruption, madness, metaphysics, and transformation, as literature's most enduring characters journey through a collapsing spiritual cosmos as it spirals toward Ragnarök.
ROBERT ROSINA is an author whose work fuses myth, philosophy, and speculative realism into a singular expression of modern mythopoeia. This fusion makes his masterwork, The Wyrdcasters Saga, philosophically ambitious — closer to Herbert’s Dune or Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun than to conventional mythic fantasy. Though rooted in ancient myth, Rosina’s work speaks urgently to the modern condition: a world fractured by technological excess, cultural collapse, and spiritual exhaustion. Through his writing, he invites readers to confront timeless questions of spiritual evolution, corruption, and the search for transcendence amid decay — questions as vital now as they were in the first age of the stories.
Robert is available for invited talks, interviews, and collaborations on mythology, narrative development, and the construction of mythic storytelling across literature, music, film, and cultural tradition.
