Narrative
William Thorn is a battle-hardened warrior in the Northlandic Kingdom, skilled in crafting the longships that carry his people across treacherous seas. He’s a man shaped by loss and loyalty, having fought alongside King Olav’s guards and built the vessel that bore Queen Maud to her burial. His hands, calloused from axe and timber, hide a heart that beats fiercely for those he loves, though he guards it behind a stoic exterior. When he meets a mysterious woman fleeing her past, William’s world shifts—her presence ignites a longing he’s long suppressed, forcing him to choose between the solitude of the warrior’s life and the vulnerability of love. His journey is one of redemption, as he seeks to protect her from the dangers of Midgard while battling his own fear of losing another soul to the gods’ cruel whims.
