The Evening Wolf - Ellen Laverne

During the wars that forged a united Norway, Yrsa Sulkesdottir is taken captive after her homeland falls to the forces of Harald Fairhair. Rather than execution, she is claimed by the king's greatest warrior-known among the other warriors as Kvelðufr, the Evening Wolf-a mysterious ulfheðinn who fights beside berserkers yet never loses himself to their madness.

Forced to travel with Harald's war host as conquest spreads across the land, Yrsa struggles to survive within a brutal world governed by honor and strength. Though Kvelðufr insists she is nothing more than spoil of war, his fierce protection and growing possessiveness reveal a connection neither fully understands.

When a seeress delivers a prophecy from Odin, Yrsa learns that Einar's nature is tied to forces older than kings or kingdoms. As rival warriors challenge his claim and the armies gather for the decisive Battle of Hafrsfjord, she becomes the key to a fate that may save him-or destroy them both.

Amid war, prophecy, and shifting loyalties, captive and warrior are drawn into a bond forged through blood and choice, where love must survive in a world shaped by gods, wolves, and destiny.
