On the first night of the Four Months of Dark,

in the heart of a sea storm, a Viking ship spots a boy

drifting alone in open water.

​

The men argue to leave him to the waves.

Drakkar, captain of The Wolf of Winter, refuses.

​

He hauls the boy aboard — alive in water that kills men.

To Drakkar, the boy is not an accident.

He is a message from the gods.

​

His name is Saelar.

 

​Saelar carries a secret older than faith.

He does not hunger for bread. He survives on blood.

​

Trapped among warriors who would kill what

they cannot understand, Saelar must hide what he is

— while the man who saved him protects him fiercely.

​

As winter deepens, unease spreads through the ship.
Thora sees the bond forming and fears

it will unravel the life she built

beside her husband.

​

Then the sea answers.

​

From the abyss rises

a wounded divine being — vast, ancient.

​

A single harpoon awakens an old prophecy, forcing 

Drakkar to choose between his gods, his men,

and the boy he pulled from the sea.

​

Sons of the Sea and Shadow is a mythic tragedy about devotion, 

consequence — of what becomes of men when the gods turn away.
