She lost everything in a single night of fire and blood. Now, she must fight her way out of darkness-before it consumes her soul.
In the wake of a brutal Danish raid that leaves her home in ashes and her family slaughtered, Astrid-young, grief-stricken, and fiercely determined-flees into a world of uncertainty. With only her brother's life to protect and a heart burning for justice, she boards a Viking ship not as a passenger, but as a survivor steeled by loss.
But vengeance is a cold companion.
As Astrid navigates treacherous seas, hostile shores, plague-ridden villages, and the haunting silence of her own guilt, she's forced to confront deeper questions:
- Can she trust again-especially the man whose kindness feels like betrayal?
- Can a pagan soul find grace in a Christian God who seems absent in her suffering?
- And if she achieves justice... will there be anything left of her to reclaim?
Set against the raw beauty and brutality of the Norse world, Out of the Dark weaves historical authenticity, emotional depth, and pulse-pounding survival into a story of resilience, identity, and the fragile rebirth of hope.
