Y/N is admired by the entire court. Valen Noctis is paid to make them laugh. A noblewoman and a jester should never cross the line between duty and desire, yet stolen glances become secret conversations, and secret conversations become something neither can control. But with jealous suitors, court gossip, and a kingdom that would never accept them, some love stories are doomed from the start.
A violent storm leaves Y/N unconscious on the outskirts of a secluded Norse village, carrying strange belongings, wearing unfamiliar clothing, and speaking a language no one understands. To some, she’s an omen. To others, a curse sent by the gods. Only one man refuses to let them kill her. Eirik Björnsson, the quiet heir to the jarl, is tasked with uncovering the truth behind the mysterious stranger. But the more time they spend together, the more impossible she becomes. Y/N possesses knowledge she shouldn’t have, questions traditions no one else dares to challenge, and slowly changes the lives of those around her—including his. As ancient beliefs collide with modern ideals, two souls separated by a thousand years find themselves bound by something neither can explain. Some say the Norns weave every thread of fate. Perhaps they wove this one across time itself.
