Overview: A chilling wind whispers across the Shetland Islands, carrying the scent of salt and the cries of gulls. Bjorn Haldorson, a respected jarl, feels a terrifying shift within him. The berserker rage, once his strength, gives way to something primal, something monstrous. Beneath the spectral moonlight, he transforms. No longer man, but beast – a hulking grey wolf with eyes like glacial ice. The Northman’s Curse has awakened.
This is no slow descent into madness. It’s a visceral metamorphosis, a shapeshifting legacy tied to Ran, the forgotten sea goddess, and a bloodline stretching back to the first Viking raids. Bjorn’s transformations escalate, the wolf’s hunger threatening to consume his humanity. Ran’s whispers echo in his mind, promising power but demanding obedience, a servitude that could cost him his soul.
Desperate, Bjorn seeks Astrid Ingvarsdottir, a völva whose dwelling hums with ancient magic. She confirms his fears: Bjorn is Úlfhéðnar, a legendary wolf-warrior, his power a gift—or a curse—from Ran. Astrid unveils a prophecy foretelling the return of the Nattmara, a being of pure shadow imprisoned beneath the North Sea. The Úlfhéðnar believe Bjorn is the key to the world’s salvation, or its destruction. But Astrid’s knowledge comes at a devastating price: the Úlfhéðnar don’t serve Ran. They serve the Nattmara, plotting to unleash its icy grip upon Midgard, ushering in an eternal night.
Bjorn finds an unlikely ally in Solveig Magnusdottir, a fierce shield-maiden ostracized for her own nascent shapeshifting. She embodies the control Bjorn craves. Bound by their shared curse and the looming threat of the Nattmara, they forge a fragile alliance. Solveig guides Bjorn to harness the wolf within, their training steeped in ancient rituals and forgotten lore, pushing them to the limits of endurance.
