“THE LONGER, COLDER WINTER”
Bucky Barnes was a child soldier during World War II before the Soviet Union brainwashed him into becoming their most feared assassin. Throughout his entire life, there was never a time when he was not undertaking nearly impossible clandestine missions... and nothing has changed. Thor’s Asgard is attacking the United States, and his best friend Captain America has need of a man with the Winter Soldier’s unique skillset!
Intelligence wins wars. Asgard’s proverbial eyes, the mystical ravens Huginn and Muninn, are everywhere. They fly and spy, and are rumored to have set up a temporary nest in Idaho’s Teton Mountain Range. That’s where Bucky’s mission will bring him - but these are no ordinary birds. The massive black wings and razor-sharp claws atop that mountain may spell certain death!
And if the ravens don’t get him, his unconventional backup might! No bird hunt is complete without a retriever, and Bucky’s otherworldly allies from Vanaheim have arranged for him to be accompanied by the huge talking warg Hati Hróðvitnisson. Is the beast a winter soldier’s best friend, or is it a critical mistake for Bucky to trust this big, bad wolf?

“COLDER WARRIORS”
Bucky Barnes and his unlikely ally, the giant talking wolf-like warg from Vanaheim known as Hati, continue their covert wetworks operations directed against the Asgardian invaders and their allies. But their next mission hits close to home...
The world of Svartalfheim is renowned from producing the deadliest assassins in the Nine Realms. The Dark Elves of House Døkkr, rulers of the Commonwealth of Drow on the Realm’s eastern continent, take credit for this. Their methods involve abducting skilled child soldiers, enhancing them with cybernetics and alchemical compounds, and brainwashing them into becoming ruthless killing machines. To Bucky, this is all too familiar.
His mission is to destroy the Døkkr’s primary training facility and capture or eliminate the Dark Elf “winter soldiers.” Yet in the course of his infiltration, Bucky discovers that the procedures the Døkkr utilize are not just similar to what was done to him... they are the exact same! What connection did the Dark Elves have to the Soviet Union? Will he survive to find out?

He’s got to get back to Earth, because before he was slain he uncovered the truth about a long-running conspiracy... a truth that could change everything about the Civil War! Plus, he’s the only one who knows who actually killed him!
There are just a few problems... a few large, bearded, axe-wielding problems! A war party of the fiercest Vikings to have ever lived, led by the spirit of Eric Bloodaxe, don’t want Bucky to leave - and there’s not a Kalashnikov Machine Gun in sight! Can even the angelic Valkyrie help Bucky return to Earth?
