Runebound

Set in the twelfth century, Runebound weaves a story of love, destiny, and awakening as Milena of Mecklenburg grapples with her faith and the lingering presence of ancient pagan beliefs. Guided by prophetic dreams and newfound powers, she encounters a young warrior through Norse traders, challenging the fragile order of her world and her sense of identity. Richly grounded in historical fiction with subtle fantasy elements, the novel explores forbidden belief and self-discovery in a time of cultural transition.
