A Viking Raid Goes Wrong
A free short story introducing Brandr, before storms, before command, before glory.
A group of boys are sent on what should be a simple raid.
Land fast. Take what they can. Get out.
They pick the wrong village.
Orders break. Fire spreads. Civilians run.
And in the middle of it, one boy acts when no one else does.
This is not a tale of prophecy or destiny.
It’s about survival, pressure, and the first cost of leadership.
