Legends are not born. They are forged in fire and loss.

Before the Darkborn ruled the North…
Before gods and monsters walked the battlefields…
Before immortality was forged in blood…

There were four Viking warriors, betrayed.

And there was Hel, goddess of the dead.

Origins is the opening chapter of the Darkborn saga—a dark, Norse-inspired fantasy romance where Viking warriors are reborn as immortal guardians, bound to a goddess who does not give without taking. Vengeance may be eternal, but it is never free.

This is Sylas's story.

This is how the Darkborn were created.
