Stormbound

Freydis Halvardóttir survived once by hiding.

She won't do it again.

Now a shieldmaiden of Hrafnstead, she is strong, respected, and unclaimed-by choice. No man has ever held her attention long enough to matter.

Until Bjorn.

He doesn't push.
Doesn't chase.
Doesn't ask for anything she doesn't give.

He just... stays.

And in a world where people take what they want without hesitation, that might be more dangerous than anything else.

But Freydis's life was never meant to be simple. Not with a past that still lingers, a family she refuses to fail, and a boy who looks at her like she can never fall.

Because when Freydis chooses-

She doesn't do it halfway.

And neither does he.
