Some men are forged in battle. Thorne was forged in the ashes of his wedding night.

He was supposed to marry the love of his life. Instead, he watched her burn.

Before the Darkborn. Before the legends. Before immortality was carved into his flesh with runes and rage—Thorne was a Viking warrior ready to build a quiet life with his bride.

One night of celebration became a massacre.

One goddess offered him vengeance.

One choice damned him forever.

Origins: Thorne is a prequel story in the Darkborn saga—a dark, Norse-inspired fantasy romance where a cocky Viking warrior loses everything that made him human, only to be reborn as something far more dangerous.

Death was not the ending. It was the awakening.

This is Thorne's story.
