Rune wants only one thing from the gods: the heart of a boy who already claims to love her. She wants it enough that shes willing to make a deal with a god to keep it.
The deal is simple: the heart of the boy, and in return, Rune will make this god revered among the clan.
Then, out of nowhere, the boy proposes to Runes sister instead.
In her anger, she renounces the gods. But the gods have plans of their own. They snatch Rune from earth and throw her in Asgard, claiming her as their lost goddess and drowning her in a world of dangerous power. Its clear a god is pulling the strings here, but Rune cant guess who, or what her role is in their games. Desperate, she strikes a second deal with a god-one who might be as broken and twisted as she, and quite possibly more capable of breaking her heart than anyone. As her Viking past finds a way into Asgard, its clear that someones heart will be slaughtered. She can only hope to be long gone before it all crashes down.
A standalone fantasy for lovers of the fake engagement trope, shields and axes, or poison in teacups.
