Brawlhalla Tales: Nix To Feature Epic Journey Spanning the Whole of Valhalla
The novel itself promises 112 pages' worth of action and adventure meant to appeal to both newcomers andBrawlhallafans alike. Like its name implies, the novel stars Nix, the “freelance reaper” who’s part of the hit game’s cast of fighters. The story starts with some interference from a “rogue Valkyrie” leading to an extraordinary occurrence: Nix missing her mark. This kicks off a chain of events that takes the protagonist across all nine realms of Valhalla, adamant to finish the job. On her quest, Nix encounters a variety of allies and adversaries, eventually entering Odin’s tournament, where victory is essential to saving not just her job but her very soul, according to a story synopsis that Dark Horse Comics shared with Game Rant.
