Gabriel, a being of ethereal beauty with four angelic wings, awakens in the frozen north among the Vikings, a people hardened by war and survival.

As he aids the Vikings in a desperate battle against a barbarian horde, rumors of a god walking among mortals spread like wildfire across the lands. From the **snowbound North** to the **golden deserts of the South**, and the disciplined empires of the **East**, rulers, warriors, and scholars scramble to understand this being’s motives. Is he a savior, a threat, or something far beyond human comprehension? Yet, even as Gabriel shapes the world around him, questions haunt his existence. Why was he brought to this land? What is the source of his immense power? And why does he feel a growing connection to the people he has chosen to protect? As kingdoms prepare for alliances or wars, and Gabriel’s influence spreads, his presence begins to unravel secrets buried deep within the fabric of the world. Forces, both divine and malevolent, take notice, and the stakes grow higher than anyone could imagine.

Halfdan Magnusson, the man who raised the flag of the greatest viking nation in history. He was their greatest king to ever live and he was their idol.

In the northern royal kingdom of Arszden, nothing is as it seems. Being one of the oldest of the Fourteen Kingdoms, time has made its history both fact and fairytale, and to this day, nobody knows which is more accurate, either fantasy or reality. Katarina Kasdan was born free, but 321 days ago, her entire world crumbled at her feet. Not for the first time, and surely, not for the last. Stripped of her right to freedom after her entire village was burned to the ground, she was taken as a thrall by the woman known as the Keiserinne, and used for her dark wishes. But her wyrd was long ago settled. When the infamous Steel Kairo walks into her life, everything changes, once more. He is everything she hates. Everything she fears. Everything she loves. He has secrets interwoven with the very birth of the world he seems to carry in his shoulders, holds more power than one should ever be given to wield, and, on top of it all, he is said to be immortal. Something she should have known the first time she tried to stab him. Or when he offered to teach her to throw knives. Or when he kissed her for the first time. But as another king sits on his throne destined to fall, others reach to claim a crown bejeweled with secrets that could mean the unveiling of a long-lost prophecy and a wyrd millennia before settled. And as false kings race to claim an inheritance that is neither theirs nor the king's firstborn, the wyrd wields its hand to place upon the one true heir's head the crown of the Lost King. And amid such secrets lies a fate that claims that these two will be the bane of each other's existence until the blood of one of them is shed upon a land of daisies. Thus, chaos will come. Lives will be lost. Bonds will be made. Vows will be broken. Blood will be spilled. Fates will be set. And war will be waged. And the only remaining question is whether steel will be broken or a daisy will blossom. (Norse mythology and Viking inspired)

Gone were the days when Dean Andler spent his nights studying in the Harvard Library, trying to boost his GPA. Now, he was free to do whatever he wanted, and life felt far more exciting this way. It had been five years since he dropped out of Harvard to chase novelty. Dean had always been a bright young man, a quick learner, but for some reason, he made the decision to abandon his academic path and live for himself. A foolish idea, they said. He was wasting his future—and his potential. Yet, something about being a daredevil, about embracing extreme stunts, never failed to capture his attention from the moment he first discovered it. Dean admits he had lived more in those five years of risking his life than in his previous 20. But all good things must come to an end. And an absolute end, at that. Dean Andler died on his 25th birthday, after jumping from an aircraft when his parachute failed to deploy. A pitiful end. However, it was also a new beginning. Dean finds himself transmigrated to ancient times, during the Viking Age. Here, Vikings exist in all their brutish and fierce glory, just as the history books described. Yet these Vikings are different—far beyond anything history had recorded. They possess superhuman strength, the ability to control the elements, and command the weather itself. Even the world is not what it should be: gigantic sea creatures and malevolent water spirits roam freely. The famed *Einherjar* of Valhalla are real, as are the various gods and their inheritances. As absurd as it all seems to someone from the 21st century, these phenomena are everyday realities for the stone-cold Vikings. Which leaves Dean asking himself: What kind of Vikings are these?

In the heart of the Viking age, Torstein, a young Norse boy, stands as an anomaly in a culture celebrated for its valor in battle and conquest. Unlike his peers, Torstein harbors a deep-seated aversion to violence, an attribute that places him at odds with the core values of his society. His older brother, Erik, embodies the quintessential Viking warrior – strong, brave, and revered. Yet, Erik’s admiration and understanding for his younger brother's unique perspective weave a bond of deep brotherly love and respect between them. Torstein's journey is one riddled with internal and external conflicts. He grapples with the expectations of his community and the legacy of his ancestors, all while trying to forge his own path. His disdain for violence and warfare is not just a personal struggle but also a societal challenge, as he constantly faces ridicule and misunderstanding from those around him.

But instead of claiming her as he should, he walked past her to embrace another she-wolf behind her. Her sworn enemy. "Mate!" Her heart thudded painfully when she heard them say to each.
