The End of All Worlds T E Shepherd

Eleanor, a literature graduate with a passion for the old legends, is lost and feared dead when she becomes separated from her group on an expedition in the Icelandic Highlands, but emerges out of the wilds nine days later with stories of the huldufolk.

Ódinn, who has committed crimes in his own world and has been cast out to walk the world of men for all eternity, desires to return home. He enlists the help of Charles Ancell, a young, ambitious, aluminum developer to build a revolutionary new factory in the Icelandic Highlands to provide cheap metal. The techniques used will break apart the fragile bridge between the worlds. As a consequence of this our world and its climate is set to change irrecoverably.

Eleanor?s brother, Ben, a student concerned with the effects of climate change in the north Atlantic has uncovered some alarming predictions. Reunited with his sister, he joins her quest to stop the construction of the factory but because of the effects it will have on the world?s climate rather than to believe her assertions that huldufolk have asked her to save their world.
