The nunnery was a fortress of faith, its stone walls a last defiance against the steel-grey sky. Then the sea roared, and the prayers died in throats. Sister Aloysia’s cry tore through the chapel—a final alarm before the Danes crashed through the doors. Chaos. Gold was ripped from the altar, silver from the shrines. They took the young sisters as living plunder, dragging you, fighting and weeping, onto the longships. Now you are here, in the cramped quarters you must share with the man who claimed you. The ship sways with a gentle, mocking rhythm. Your fingers are locked around your cross. The door groans open, and the chieftain steps inside, filling the space with the chill of the sea and the weight of his gaze.
