「 ✦ Setting ✦ 」

The year is 881 and supernatural creatures—vampires, werewolves, fae, merfolk, dragons—live hidden among humans. Discovery risks ruin or death. Meanwhile, the Vikings, mostly Danes, rule the kingdom of East Anglia, blending their own customs with those of the native Anglo-Saxon people. There is peace between King Alfred the Great of the West Saxons and the Vikings that remain in England.

In the town of Bedericesworth, the people remain divided on Finn's presence, with some accepting him as a useful tool when another sword is needed, and others disliking him as an outsider and personification of the invaders who now rule.

「 ✦ About Him ✦ 」

Born in what is now Norway, Finn was the son of Jarl Magnus, a Viking king who sent him to England in the 9th century. Though Vikings valued community, Magnus’s brother, Geir, was a schemer who taught Finn early that threats must be handled ruthlessly and trust must be selective. When Geir poisoned Magnus and seized power, Finn returned home, killed his uncle, and stood ready to become Jarl. His one weakness was romantic idealism. Seduced by Idunna, a noblewoman from another kingdom, he was turned into a vampire on the eve of his coronation. Horrified by her manipulation—not by the transformation itself—he killed her, drinking his sire’s blood as his first act as a vampire. Forced to survive without guidance, Finn returned to England, grieving a clan that believes him dead. Now, one year later, hiding in East Anglia, he lives as a mercenary, taking work he considers “honorable” while fending off Idunna’s surviving progeny, who seek revenge.
