What The Sea Gave: A Wavebound Chronicles Prequel by Kára Svipul

Before Bára and Hadda became legends, they were two abandoned infants left beneath the frost-laden trees of a northern forest. When Eirikr, an ulfheðnar warrior, discovers the children during a hunt, he and his wife Heidr, a gifted völva, are faced with an impossible choice. The girls carry no family mark, no known lineage, and no explanation for their arrival. Yet the sea has delivered them into Eirikr’s care, and Heidr senses that the threads of fate surrounding them reach far beyond a single village. As the children grow, whispers of prophecy, destiny, and the ancient powers of the Nine Realms begin to gather around them. What the Sea Gave is a prequel novella to The Wavebound Chronicles, a Norse romantasy series inspired by the mythology of Rán, Ægir, and the Nine Waves. Perfect for readers who enjoy Norse mythology, slow-burn romance, found family, and epic fantasy rooted in legend.
