Denmark. The Dark Ages. A Sea-Faring People Face the Wrath of the Frankish Empire.

In the time of conquest, the earth casts up its own messiah, the Danish land-wight Rafn. Bewitched into human form, Rafn must save his people – both Human and Huldu – from conversion or death at the point of Charlemagne’s sword. His sacred task is to master both half-Human nature and Huldu powers, to defend the remaining Huldu and protect his Viking homeland.

Immerse yourself in the mysteries and power of the Dark Ages. Join Rafn, Halfdan, Thora, and Centila as they fight the Frankish incursion – In the Company of Stones!
.................................................................................................................
Dear Readers: I would really like feedback on the order of the chapters. Do you feel that the first chapter works well to set up the Huldu for the second chapter? Or do you feel the second chapter has more of a 'hook' & is a better place to start?  Should I do the first chapter as some kind of flash-back?

Your opinions matter!

Midnight Eclipse (Paranormal Viking Romance, Completed) by lisa_london_

||OUTLANDERxVIKINGS|| Greenland 1406: In the dim sunlight of a rare midnight eclipse--when the moon shades the never-setting sun of polar summer--the last Vikings escape Greenland's frozen shores on a longship, leaving doors ajar and fires burning. They don't know where they're going but they know they can't stay. Left on the shore stands Björn the Bearslayer, covered in the blood of his fellow Norsemen. He risked it all for his love Gudrun, a seer who was forced into marriage with Björn's father. Now he's befallen with a curse sealed in bear blood and has become more beast than man. Greenland, present day: After a disastrous break-up, Saga escapes to Greenland, hoping a few summer weeks in the glow of the midnight sun will provide her with the respite she seeks. But instead, a mystical artifact etched with runes pulls her into the saga of Björn the Bearslayer. Alongside charming whale-safari guide Mikk, Saga discovers the truth about the last Vikings in Greenland. As Saga learns Björn's story, she realizes that she is not just a passive bystander to the unfolding narrative but the key to how it ends. Perhaps the beast of the past is still out there somewhere. Will she be able to bring a happy ending to a tragic saga six hundred years in the making and will she mend her aching own heart in the process?

Omma: The queen behind the mask by AbyssAlisse

"May the stories spin, may the thread grow longer, and may the future doubt the past with the same vigor she feared the future" The world had always treated Disa like she was beauty breathed into flesh and blood. Previously immortality allowed her to maintain that status, but now time is threatening her existence. For a year she has been on earth waiting for her husband to change his mind or her mother to want her back. But as time drags on, she decides to spite them in the only way that will; by fulfilling the prophesy and cast them off into oblivion with it. She had always been destined for power so when the southern conquer king closes in, she knows what she has to do. But with the southern tides comes not only her husband to be but also their gods. One with wicked storm gray eyes and a glinting silver scar on his jaw who tricked her immortality from her and who is now willing to strike another deal. A century later every belly rumbles as they float past on the street and Lenjas father has a family to care for. Ten children, ten hollow pairs of eyes, and eight more weeks until spring. Up on the mountain, the immortal queen reigns behind her silver mask, more myth than person. Young Lenjas' life is traded for a drawstring purse of gold and she gets thrust into the odd world of court. With gaping holes in the history books questions rise and when Lenja is not turned into a servant as was the deal but educated like a lady, anxiety rises. She must find out why the queen paid to have her there and why her friends at court are sneaking out in the night to cry behind gilded doors.

Her Tyrant Alpha [EXCERPT] by ESHurricane

*Available in full on Radish or Patreon!* She was born in fire. He was forged in ice. The clash will scorch them both. After a disease wipes out all human life on earth, the world is left to the werewolves. As packs organize and claim territory, an opportunity arises to collect information from a Viking pack headed by the dangerous alpha, Nolan Frosaker. Ashelin jumps at the chance to go undercover, but only partly because she wants to contribute to the mission. The Viking King intrigues her, and she has unique talents that will get her close to him. What she doesn't anticipate is Nolan's own unique talents, and how quickly she desires to be completely at his mercy. Warnings: This story is rated mature for a reason. Rated NC-17 for very intense bdsm power play in an environment that wouldn't be safe if it were humans not in fiction. NOTE: This story takes place in the Bloodlines universe, but can be read as a standalone. If you're curious about the apocalypse and want more of Ashelin and her previous pack, check out Bloodlines Vol. 1 for the first entry in that series and info on reading the rest!

Warmagic by Emmian_

Krigsgaldr - "War Magic" Tyr was the son of the leader in a small village of Southern Svealand. A faith that came with obligations he did not want. Freke was a wolf shapeshifter, a descendant of Fenrir some would say, and they were both loved and hated for it. Their lives were connected. As the heir of the Jarl and a Vitki in training, best friends since childhood and lovers of late they spent all their time together. But will their love for one another be weakened or strengthened by Tyr's uncles arrival, his mother's plans of his upcoming marriage and the destiny the Gods have set for them both? ------------------------------------------ This is a fantasy novel inspired by Norse mythology and the history of my country, Sweden. In this book I mix real historical facts with fantasy. This book follows the Wattpad guidelines and is not rated as mature, though there are some violent scenes and a lot of Norse religious believes in this book, polygamy and LGBTQ+ characters. ------------------------------------------ The cover is made by the talented Lotur Norn. https://www.instagram.com/lotur_norn/

How I Leave You by Cvanide

It is as though Ilwien seeks out trouble with the hope that, among it, she might find adventure, too. But one day, it is a dwarf they call Thorin Oakenshield she finds instead. And perhaps that will be the worst trouble of all... After losing her people in a brutal attack centuries ago, Ilwien does not hesitate to join a company of dwarves on a journey through which she might reclaim her homelands. She soon learns, however, that the leader of the company, a dwarf they call Thorin Oakenshield, seems set on hating her merely for the nature of her being. The question arises of who might manage to detest the other more, but then everything is turned upside down when Ilwien saves the dwarven king's life... How I Leave You is the book I have always wanted to read, but after years of being unable to find anything resembling it, I decided to create it myself. We have all read a good Thorin fic before. So I wanted to write a great one. 23/11/2021: #1 in thorinoakenshield 05/01/2022: #2 in thehobbit
