Night of the Runes

They mocked him with his mother’s name.
Loki Gardsdottir—the outcast, the fatherless, the cursed. What began as an insult becomes a scar that will not fade, a prophecy whispered by ravens, and a destiny carved into rune stones older than kings.

With only a band of scarred outcasts at his side, Loki fights to survive battles, betrayals, and the cruel laughter of jarls who see him as nothing more than a joke. But when fire blazes from ancient runes and crows circle overhead, men begin to whisper that perhaps the gods themselves have marked him.

In a world of frost and steel, where mockery cuts deeper than swords, Loki must decide whether his name will remain a curse—or become a legacy.

Night of the Runes is the beginning of the Loki Gardsdottir Saga: a tale of blood-oaths and prophecy, of betrayal and survival, of a man who forges power from shame and carves his fate into legend.
