The Wessex forest air was thick with tension. Bjorn, the fierce Viking warrior, found himself pressed hard against the rough bark of an ancient oak, a cold steel blade resting lightly against his throat. His eyes widened in genuine shock. Before him stood not a submissive Saxon lady, but a fiery woman in trousers, wielding a sword with lethal grace. She glared up, her stance defiant. Bjorn slowly lowered his own weapon, raising his hands in surrender. "Eg gef eftir," he admitted in Old Norse. The woman’s eyebrow arched. When she spoke, it was not in broken English, but in his own native tongue. Bjorn froze, his heart hammering against his ribs. Who was this enigma, and why did she know his language? He masked his surprise with a scowl; she was his enemy, regardless of gender.
