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!

Beyond the Isle of Berk, near the edge of the world, lay the grand mountains known as Heaven's Peak. This region was home to the Sharpfrosticaya clan, a tribe that thrived in harmony with nature and the dragons that roamed the skies. For centuries, the clan ruled Heaven's Peak, maintaining a close bond with their dragon. Chief Soaring Cry and his wife, Thunders Heart, led the tribe with wisdom and strength. Together, they raised four children: three sons and a daughter named Y/n. On her sixth birthday, following the tribe's sacred tradition, Y/n was blessed with a dragon egg. This was a pivotal moment in a child's life, marking the beginning of their journey to become a Dragon Warrior. As Y/n grew, she trained under the guidance of her peers.

A devastating attack left thousands dead and many more wounded, with countless others succumbing to their injuries. The once-thriving clan was plunged into chaos and despair.

How I Leave You

50 parts Complete Mature

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
