asablehart:It was impossible to travel to Ylfrness without learning of Sigbjorn’s pack. He was named Wolf-father after the birth of his daughters: six fearsome wolves, each one large enough to eat a man whole, whose strange human-like eyes possessed a terrifying intelligence. Even as a child, Magden had heard the rumors—that Sigbjorn’s line was rife with mad men, those berserkers who took the shape of wolves and chewed on the guts of their brothers—but now, he knew it to be true. There was something inhuman living inside of Sigbjorn’s blood, and he wanted to taste it.Seven Daughters Sired in BloodWIP IntroductionA Short Story/Novelette ∙ Genre ∙ Norse mythology inspired dark fantasy ∙ Target Word Count ∙ 8k - 12k words∙ Trigger Warnings ∙ Pregnancy, gore, body horror, violence∙ Rating ∙ 18+/Mature ∙ Summary ∙Ten years ago, Magden and his sister Johanna, ventured into the wilderness of the Redhaven estate. Already scorned by their family — Magden, for being transgender; Johanna, for being a woman — they made a deal with the witch of the woods: bring her the flesh of an eldritch beast, and she’ll teach them the rituals she dragged from her boreal homeland, Somerkeld, to the fae-touched land of Ettenwain.Now, the Lord of Redhaven is dead. Magden and Johanna have been exiled from their ancestral lands by their younger brother, a man rightfully paranoid that Magden will fight tooth-and-nail for his rightful inheritance and place the sorceress Jo on the throne. He will.Decorated with the last of his finery, Magden travels to Somerkeld to solicit the help of a childhood friend, Sigbjorn Svanhildsson, Jarl of Ylfrness. Here, he will lie about the circumstances of his exile, sure that Sigbjorn will ally himself with a wealthy lord. But the more he learns of Sigbjorn’s household, the more entranced he becomes; Sigbjorn, the descendant of werewolves, has sired six fearsome monsters by his lover Guiscard. Reminded of the deal he made so many years ago, Magden sees a new path to power: bear Sigbjorn’s seventh daughter and bring home the newest beast of Ettenwain. But, with such strange and supernatural forces at play, Magden will soon learn that there are consequences for his deception.Ask for be +/- from the taglist -- source link
