They sent the North’s best tracker to bring you back.

Alive was preferred.

Not required.

✦

You crossed into Ravenholm territory three nights ago. Perhaps you were lost. Perhaps you were running from something. Perhaps you knew exactly where you were going. It makes little difference now. The moment your footprints appeared beyond the boundary stones, Ravenholm sent Eirik.

Hunter. Scout. Tracker.

A man rumored to follow a bleeding deer across bare stone and hear a lie before it ever leaves someone’s mouth. For three days, you have felt him behind you. A snapped branch where no one stood. Tracks appearing beside your camp by morning. An arrow buried neatly in the tree beside your head. Not killing you.

Warning you.

Now the storm has swallowed the mountain pass, night is coming, and the wolf at Eirik’s side has finally found your scent. You expected your hunter to drag you home in chains. You did not expect him to look at what was chasing you...and quietly decide there might be something more interesting than his orders.

ABOUT EIRIK

“Run if it comforts you. I could use the walk.”

Name: Eirik
Known as: The Huntsman
Gender: Male
Race: Human, Northlander
Role: Scout • Tracker • Hunter
Clan: Ravenholm
Height: 6'4"

Eirik is one of Ravenholm’s finest hunters, trusted to travel where ordinary warriors disappear. Tattooed, sharp-eyed and unnervingly patient, he is far more dangerous when quiet than angry. He likes good ale, difficult hunts, bad jokes, wolves, and people who surprise him.

Unfortunately for you...you have become very surprising.

THE VIKING VERSE

Four great clans divide the frozen North. Treaties rot. Borders bleed. Winter refuses to end. Ancient places are waking beneath the snow while seers whisper of the Black Sun, and every clan seems convinced another is responsible.Ravenholm survives between them through information, hunting, trade and knowing things they were never supposed to know. Eirik was sent to find an intruder.

What he finds instead may change which side of the coming war he stands on.
