Thora Thorsdottir has always walked the line between two worlds.
Born of a Saxon lady and a fierce Dane war-chief, Thora was raised in the wild beauty of Northumbria-strong, self-sufficient, and free from the bloodshed that once divided her people. With her father's tribe at peace and her mother teaching her the wisdom of the Saxon court, Thora has carved a quiet life of purpose, far from the ambitions of kings and warriors.
But peace is fragile.
When Uhtred of Bebbanburg rides into her village under the banner of the Saxon crown, he brings with him news of coming war-and a presence Thora cannot ignore. A warrior forged by fire and torn between loyalties of his own, Uhtred is drawn to Thora's fire, her pride, and her strength. She, in turn, sees in him a man who understands the duality she has lived with her whole life.
As tensions rise between Saxon and Dane once more, Thora's world begins to unravel. Loyalties are tested, bloodlines called into question, and the life she thought she'd secured begins to slip through her fingers. Caught between her father's legacy and her mother's past, Thora must decide where her heart-and her future-truly lie.
And in Uhtred, she may find not only a kindred spirit... but a love powerful enough to reshape the fate of kingdoms.

Painted Blade || sihtric (1)
orenda (n.) a mystical force present in all people that empowers them to affect the world, or to effect change in their own lives. ------ The night Ragnar the Fearless and his family died was not only watched from afar by Uhtred Ragnarson, but also by the youngest daughter, Bemia Ragnarsdottir-a young girl who had to crawl on her hands and knees out of the burning hall, had to also watch in tears from the forest as her world was snatched out from under her. Uhtred had watched the attack, thinking only Thyra had survived, by being kidnapped. But little did he know that his youngest sister was running past him in the forest, desperate to get away. And she did. But the next part of her life was even worse, more traumatic than watching her family die before her eyes. Years later, Bemia had created a name for herself, created a reputation that was feared by most Danes and Saxons. Then she had finally found her brother again, and also a young warrior who she never thought she would fall for. -- Sihtric x fem OC! #1 thelastkingdom 30/06/2024 #1 finan 05/07/2024 #1 osferth 05/07/2024 #1 sihtrickjartansson 05/07/2024 #1 uhtred 05/07/2024 #1 sihtric 07/07/2024
The Heart Of The Mountain
"Heart of the Mountain" In the shadow of stone, fire, and fate - love rises like dawn. When Xara, the last-born of a vanished mage lineage, steps into the halls of Erebor on the eve of Durin's Day, she expects politics, mistrust, and the cold indifference of kings. What she doesn't expect is Thorin Oakenshield - proud, scarred, and bound by duty - to look at her as though she's the first warmth he's ever known. As orcish threats loom and old wounds stir, what begins as cautious alliance grows into a bond that defies blood and battle. But love between king and mage was never written in prophecy. Shadows gather. A bounty rises. And the mountain's heart is at stake. Torn between protecting his people and claiming the woman who's set his soul ablaze, Thorin must decide: will he be a king of stone... or a man of fire? But when blades fall and fate calls, Xara will give everything to shield the one who taught her the meaning of home. Their love was forged in battle, bound by magic, and crowned by the birth of a son - the heir to a legacy shaped by courage, sacrifice, and a devotion stronger than mithril.Complete
Ash and Blood
A kingdom sold. A prince forgotten. A woman whose fire might be the end of him... or his salvation. Thorian under the alias Corrin, the last heir of a fallen house, lives in the shadow of his burned past, hidden behind a false name and the armor of the knightly order that raised him. When fate places him in the path of a silver-haired stranger with fire behind her eyes, he expects trouble. He doesn't expect her to change everything. Loona is sharp-tongued, guarded, and dangerous and hiding a secret of her own. As kingdoms stir and ancient powers awaken, Thorian finds himself torn between duty and desire, drawn to a woman he barely understands and haunted by a legacy he can't ignore. But secrets have teeth, and the deeper they fall into war, prophecy, and blood, the harder it becomes to tell who is saving who and who is damning them both. Loyalties will be tested. Love will be twisted. And before the heir can reclaim his crown, he must first decide what kind of king and man he's willing to become. Note: I am trying to avoid most pitfalls that seems to be in every fantasy story lately and make it more relatable to the reader when able. Some pitfalls may be unavoidable though. Also, I only use AI for editing, art and world building assistance. The eventual goal is to hire an actual editor and artist to eliminate it entirely. That being said I don't have any issues with anybody using AI as long as they don't ghostwrite with it.
