Dear #MarkedbyOdin, just on a day like today, July 11, eight years ago, in 2012, we decided to let everyone know not only The Awakening, the first installment of Mark of Odin, but our online platform with which we opened a new innovative path within the literary and transmedia world.
Just eight years ago we revealed this crazy dream with an even crazier idea, the #DisasterSeville video with which we seek to draw attention using the best visual effects and taking inspiration from one of the most dramatic scenes from the first book. This was the official first step, after already many done since the first spark of Mark of Odin ignited in my head back in 2005-2006.
It has not been an easy path the one that we have traveled. It has been plagued with challenges, obstacles, attacks, but also with great victories, achievements and support. It is a path that we continue to travel and that still has to offer great dangers but, above all, great rewards.
In this time I have been able to publish the first two books of the saga, the first also in English. I have done it together with a huge amount of extended content that week by week, month by month, have been feeding readers with new stories to enrich the universe of Mark of Odin. In total, more than 1,500 pages of surprising history that will keep growing.
Creating a project of this magnitude on my own, although with the support of incredible people, has been something that many said was impossible. To this day they continue to affirm it, but our daily work, our daily achievements, our deeds, speak clear and loudly: Mark of Odin will continue to grow and bigger things have yet to come.
And I say this not only because despite the crisis we have suffered this year we have continued to grow in number of readers and new content. But because behind the curtain I continue to prepare many news and surprises with which I hope we can make a qualitative leap soon. Not only that, very soon I hope to start the final production of the third book in the saga, Ragnarok, with which we will reach a new level that will not leave anyone indifferent.
I want to thank all of you #MarkedbyOdin, who have accompanied us throughout this journey. Your support and love have been the main fuel that has kept me going against all odds. I started this crazy idea as a story and literary model with which I, as a reader/fan, would freak out. It is truly magical to discover that, in the end, it has become something that has made so many people excited.
And the best thing is that despite the years that have passed since the launch of Mark of Odin, new readers come every day to discover us for the first time and hallucinate with what I have created. We will continue to fight, to blood and fire, beyond the path to Valhalla and the battle of the end times, the Ragnarok!
Remember, all is connected.
