THE FORTUNE WAS HIS FATHER’S GIFT.
THE DEBT IS HIS TO PAY.

Daniel Ashford has lived his whole life surrounded by privilege – private schools, sprawling estates, and a future paved with opportunity. His father’s business empire is a towering success, and Daniel has never questioned how it all came to be.

But as his eighteenth birthday approaches, strange things begin to happen. Shadows whisper his name. His dreams bleed with fire and smoke. And an otherworldly figure lingers at the edges of his waking world, watching… waiting.

Unbeknownst to Daniel, his father secured their fortune with a bargain no man should make – a pact with a demon who has come to collect his promised prize. On the stroke of midnight, the contract will be fulfilled, and Daniel’s life will no longer be his own.

Now, with time running out, Daniel must uncover the truth of his inheritance and decide: will he bow to the fate written in blood, or defy the darkness that has claimed his soul since before he was born?

THE POWER IS HIS TO WIELD. THE TRIALS ARE HIS TO FACE.

Daniel Ashford thought he had found his place – a sanctuary of love and light in the heart of the demon realm, with Draven by his side. But the bonds that unite them are stronger than even he imagined, and the shadows of the world beyond their castle walls stir with ancient malice.

A sinister enchantment has taken hold of his parents, and the threads of fate draw Daniel, Draven, and their friend Ben back into a realm of peril where nothing is as it seems. Every step tests their courage, every encounter pushes the limits of trust, and every choice shapes not only their destiny, but the future of the demon realm itself.

As love and power intertwine, Daniel begins to realise that the bond he shares with Draven may be the spark that changes everything – a force capable of healing, reshaping, and challenging a world long ruled by darkness.

In a place where every shadow conceals a threat and every moment carries consequence, the question remains: will their bond be enough to overcome the trials that lie ahead?

The Skald’s Song

A mythic historical fantasy of love carried through song, memory, and fading gods – where ancient legends live on through a skald’s voice, and devotion becomes its own kind of immortality.

In the firelight of a northern hall, the young skald Rúnar raises his voice to weave the old stories anew.

He speaks of gods and monsters, of betrayal and fate – of the mead of poetry, the death of Baldr, and the binding of Fenrir. Yet as his words rise and fall, so too does his own story unfold – a song of longing and courage, of the search for meaning beneath the northern stars, and love, found in the quiet company of Eirik, the one who listens when all others turn away.

The Skald’s Song brings together three great Norse tales, retold through the eyes of one who lives their echo. Blending myth and memory, it celebrates the ancient art of oral storytelling – where the voice of the skald becomes both confession and creation, and the line between legend and life begins to blur.
