Breane has lived her whole life lavishly, under the watchful eye of her father, King Eyle, and his sentinels. She wants to get out- to escape- to live life as it should be lived, but she can't. All of that starts to change when her father begins negotiations with a Viking Jarl named Torstenn. A mysterious figure in the high court of her father. The figure of a savage, wearing hide clothes, and an great bear pelt as a cape. He carries his greatsword nearly everywhere- or so rumour has it. But she's never seen him with it in the court, during negotiations with her father and the lords. All she has seen of him are his piercing eyes, blue as the ocean, and his golden hair, as well as his great bear skin cloak that covers the rest of him.
