Skandinavia in the 9th century.
Winter reigns in the north - and the silence of the gods.
Astrid, a young healer, lives on the edge of a remote village, rejected by the humans who need her skills but fear her origins. She knows the cold. She knows being alone. And she knows the stories of the Skjoldheimers - warriors with black wolves on their shields, who let villages burn and take no prisoners.
When she finds a wounded stranger in the snowy forest, his life is in her hands. He bears the mark of the Skjoldheimers. He is one of them.
She should have let him die.
But she saved him.
Kael - the Hound of Skjoldheim - is a fallen warrior with a bloody past and a shattered heart. Between him and Astrid, more than just mistrust grows - it's a bond of guilt, longing, and something that could destroy them both: hope.
But the village is watching. The snow hides enemies. And ancient runes begin to whisper...
How much is one allowed to feel - for the one who once burned everything?

In the 17th century, desperate humans forged dangerous pacts to survive the wrath of supernatural beasts. The Kingfisher family made the boldest deal of all: eternal protection from the Primordial Werewolf King-the first and most powerful wolf born from moonlight and chaos. In exchange, the king could one day claim a bride from their bloodline. Generations passed. The pact was forgotten. Until Kara Kingfisher was born. Blind from birth yet kind-hearted and unshaken, Kara lives a quiet life behind her white veil. But on the night of her twenty-first year, the Redmoon Palace trembles as the Primordial King returns to collect his debt. And this time, he chooses Kara-the girl no one thought he would ever desire. Whisked away into a palace where humans are sacrifices, servants, or playthings for immortal wolves, Kara's presence sparks unrest. She is the first and only bride ever chosen by the king, and his obsession with her ignites fear, envy, and whispers of prophecy. But Kara is no ordinary bride. Her touch awakens ancient bloodlines. Her words curse kings. And when her blind eyes are finally opened, she sees not only the world-but the terrible power inside her. Caught between the dark devotion of the Werewolf King and the dangerous fascination of the Vampire King, Kara must decide whether to remain prey in a world of predators... or rise as something greater. The moon has chosen her. The blood remembers her. And the night will never be the same.
Jar Of Hearts || Odinsdottir
Before the fall of Asgard, before the skies burned and the world tree trembled, three siblings held the realms in balance. Thor, firstborn of Odin, whose thunder echoed across the nine worlds. Loki, silver-tongued and shadow-born, whose cleverness concealed a yearning heart. And Freyja, youngest of the three, who learned early that love could be both sanctuary and weapon. These children of Asgard grew together beneath golden spires-bound by blood, by loyalty, by a love that seemed unbreakable. Into their circle came Eirik Stenson, a warrior's son with honey eyes and promises sweet as mead. He became their companion, their trusted friend, and eventually, Freyja's beloved. What the gods did not know was that some hearts harbor darkness even while speaking of light. When betrayal comes, it shatters not just trust but worlds. The gates to ancient enemies are thrown open, and amidst the chaos and flame, it is Freyja who suffers most deeply. Her love was a gift freely given, now twisted into a blade she cannot remove. In her private sanctuary, hidden from all eyes, Freyja keeps a vessel of crystal and starlight-a jar containing fragments of all she has loved and lost. Every memory, every broken promise, every tear shed in the shadow of betrayal preserved like terrible treasures. Some call it dwelling in the past. She calls it remembering the cost of trust too freely given. Now, as enemies gather and the Tree of Worlds trembles, the gods face an impossible choice: forgive the unforgivable, or wield their broken hearts as weapons of war. For Freyja knows what mortals have forgotten-some wounds never truly heal. And some hearts, once broken, burn brighter than Muspelheim's eternal flames. *A tale of divine love, mortal betrayal, and the power of memory, inspired by "jar of hearts" by Christina Perri*Complete
