Stand Still Stay Silent
Starts slow but (for me) it really winds you into it. Swedish and Icelandic personalities are a refreshing change of pace from English-Western centric perspectives. The author is fairly prolific so there are 549 pages of action so far.
Worth taking a look at.
About page
It’s been 90 years after the end of the old world. Most of the surviving population of the Known world live in Iceland, the largest safe area in existence, while the safe settlements in the other Nordic countries; Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland, are small and scarce.
Countless mysterious and unspoken dangers lurk outside the safe areas, the Silent world, and hunters, mages and cleansers will spend their lives defending the settlements against the terrifying beings. Because of a great fear towards everything in the Silent world no official attempts to explore the ruins of the old have been made, and most of the information about it has turned into ancient lore, known by few.
