Blood. Magic. Desire. Betrayal.
Welcome to the Darkborn world, where fallen warriors rise again... hungry, bound, and burning for vengeance.
Darkborn Origins: A Prequel
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 how the Darkborn were made.

MORE ABOUT THE DARKBORN WORLD
If you crave dark fantasy romance with vampire Vikings, Norse mythology, and morally gray heroes, the Darkborn Saga will leave you breathless, shattered, and hungry for more.
When vengeance becomes immortal, love is the most dangerous weapon of all.
Forged in fire and cursed by gods, four Viking warriors are betrayed and destroyed—only to rise again as the Darkborn: immortal, bloodthirsty, and bound by fate to a destiny more brutal than death.
In a world of fallen empires, ancient gods, and brutal wars, the Darkborn are the realm’s last hope against Barron the Butcher and his Red Army. But survival comes at a cost.
Amid the blood and ruin, forbidden desires ignite between enemies and fated lovers, making the Darkborn’s hearts as dangerous as their blades (and their teeth). Torn between their monstrous hunger and the shreds of their humanity, the Darkborn must battle gods and awaken ancient evils that stir in the shadows of a broken world. Every choice could tip the balance between vengeance and redemption… or unleash a darkness no one can escape.
Prepare for slow-burn, spice, and Viking warriors who bite.
This is a four book series, slotted to release this summer (2026), early in Scarlet's bookshop and then on Amazon sometime after. Follow Scarlet's After Dark newsletter for updates.
