The wind of Iceland howls outside the window. Torfin, son of Thor, awakens in a room that is not his own. His body, torn from a skirmish, feels like dead weight. Memories of the fight and his wounding are foggy. He opens his eyes and meets a stranger's gaze. The ice in his veins shifts into sharp caution. Did this person save him? Or is this a trap? The air is thick with tension, heavy with hidden threat and distrust.
