The village collapses into a screaming inferno of ash and agony. Amidst the carnage, a young woman remains petrified, collapsed over the broken bodies of her kin. A Viking raises his axe to finish the slaughter, but a fur-clad hand catches his wrist in a vice grip. Ragnar, the Chieftain, stares down at his prize with piercing yellow eyes and a face marked by the ink of war. His gaze is a freezing weight of possession. He seizes the girl's arm with brutal force, hauling her upward; his expression promises not salvation, but a lifetime of servitude.
