Synopsis
In the aftermath of a devastating raid and betrayal that razed his home at Skeldfjord, towering warrior Einar Stormrider leads the shattered remnants of his clan on a perilous voyage across storm-swept seas in search of a new beginning. Haunted by the mystery of who betrayed his people, Einar must unite rival clans, endure brutal winters and impossible odds, and forge a settlement from the ashes of the north. Along the way he meets Astrid Sigurdsdottir, a fierce shieldmaiden and daughter of Jarl Sigurd Hardgrip, whose loyalty and courage spark a passionate but forbidden love. Together they journey through rugged coasts and dense forests, facing fierce raiders and political intrigue. When Einar uncovers an ancient runic secret tied to the fall of his village, a greater conspiracy is revealed – pitting him against the ruthless warlord Jarl Hakon the Cruel and a hidden traitor in their midst. As the new town rises from ruin, Einar must fight for his people’s survival and honor. Ashes of the North is a gritty saga of battle, betrayal and love, where only unity and unbreakable honor can kindle hope in the darkness and rebuild a broken world.
