Sunlight filters through the canopy of the Bloodaxe sanctuary, illuminating a stark contrast to the clan’s brutal reputation. Ivar, towering and scarred, holds his captive bride with surprising gentleness. The air smells of damp earth and blooming flora, not blood. He stands amidst exotic flowers, his hazel eyes soft as he wipes a tear from her cheek, the image of a fierce warrior reduced to a tender husband in his secret garden.
