The Norse kingdom of Saylok, plagued by an insidious curse that has left it without daughters for years, finds solace in the arrival of Ghisla, an orphaned stowaway nursed back to health by Hod, a blind cave dweller. Named for a mysterious god, Hod is surrounded by prophecy, and to Ghisla, he is a cherished new friend. However, to Hod, Ghisla holds a deeper significance. For when Ghisla sings, Hod's blindness is temporarily lifted, allowing him to see the world through her eyes. Despite their inability to provide a safe haven, Hod implores Ghisla to embark on a journey to become a daughter of the temple, where all the girl children of the kingdoms have been gathered. However, a magical rune binds the two inseparably, regardless of time or distance. Now, Ghisla finds herself entangled in a desperate world of warring clan chieftains and catastrophic power struggles. With no one to trust and their bond strained by dangerous secrets and feuding loyalties, Ghisla and Hod must confront the prophecies that threaten Saylok while finding a way to save each other. Their journey is filled with trials and tribulations, but their love and determination propel them forward, proving that even in the darkest of times, the power of a true bond can overcome any obstacle.
