Cursed to darkness!

After laboring for decades in the mines of Skálavík,

Viggo is lured by the promise of great riches, and joins his jarl’s sea quest.

But the daring adventure is doomed, the longship destroyed in a terrible storm.

He awakes to find himself robbed of his sight, and his liberty.

Signy knows what it is to suffer alone.

The last thing she seeks is a man—even if the future of the island depends upon compliance.

Thrown together, the two form an alliance.

Viggo will impregnate her, in return for a promise that she’ll help him end his misery.

But when the time comes, can Signy oblige the handsome stranger?

Or will the gentle maid whose touch inflames him guide Viggo to the light?

Love could be their salvation, or a source of pain neither will survive.
