Altar of Gods — Stephen Zimmer

Ragnar Stormbringer and a large band of warriors from his homelands find themselves stranded within a mysterious, dangerous land. Trapped, with no way home, and pitted against a fearsome chieftain's desire to see all of the northern warriors offered to bloodthirsty gods, Ragnar must call upon every bit of inner and outer strength that he possesses just to survive another day; much less seek a way back to his homelands. Altar of Gods is a stand-alone novella that is part of the Ragnar Stormbringer Tales.
