About The Valkyrie Cycle

From the publisher's feed

What if the worst people you knew in high school were tasked with saving the world? This is The Valkyrie Cycle: a Monsterhearts 2 actual play podcast about the messy lives of even messier teenagers, whose monstrosity is as inevitable as their destiny. Our setting is the small town of Thornridge, Washington, where monsters are as likely to lurk in the forest as the hallways of the high school, and apocalyptic mythology threatens to become ugly reality. As an unnaturally long winter casts an icy shadow over the upcoming prom, something more dangerous prowls at the edges of Thornridge, waiting for its chance to strike... The Valkyrie Cycle is a story about queerness, family, the chains that hold us back, and what happens when we break them.
