A Song for the Rune-Marked

Lifa, a gifted young rune-carver, thought she knew her place in the world—working quietly in her village, shaping protective charms to sell at market. But when she discovers an ancient, rune-marked stone hidden in the ruins of a long-forgotten temple, her life takes a dramatic turn. The stone’s runes flare to life, imprinting her skin with a pattern that seems to pulse with untapped power. Overnight, Lifa becomes the latest of the Rune-Marked, an enigmatic lineage woven deeply into the mysterious Web of Wyrd—a cosmic tapestry connecting all Nine Worlds.

As Lifa struggles to understand her new markings, shadowy guardians begin to pursue her, intent on stopping her before she unravels the secrets of her family’s hidden past. Desperate for answers and guided only by a faint pull from the glowing runes, she sets out on a journey that leads her far beyond the borders of her home. Along the way, Lifa must face a series of grueling trials, each one uncovering painful truths and forcing her to confront the legacy of a centuries-old prophecy that has bound her bloodline to the fate of the Nine Worlds.

It is not a journey she undertakes alone. By her side are a reluctant Valkyrie turned wanderer, a skald with a haunted past, a defiant shieldmaiden exiled from Asgard, and a half-elf rune-reader whose motives remain clouded in mystery. Together, this unlikely band of misfits must navigate treacherous realms, decipher cryptic prophecies, and confront an ancient, vengeful Norn—a once-benevolent figure who has turned against the Web itself. With each step, Lifa finds herself more deeply enmeshed in a cosmic struggle to preserve balance, even as the Web’s threads shift and tighten around her.

But fate has its own plans. As she delves deeper into the mysteries of the Web, Lifa discovers that her own father, long presumed dead, is still alive—and under the thrall of the ancient entity she must stop. This shocking revelation forces Lifa to make impossible choices, knowing that one wrong move could plunge all of the Nine Worlds into chaos.

The Song of the Rune-Marked is more than an epic fantasy. It is a story of courage, self-discovery, and the power of unlikely friendships. It explores the intricate balance between order and chaos, destiny and free will, while inviting readers to see the heroism that can emerge from even the most unexpected of places. With richly imagined realms, compelling characters, and a plot that twists and turns like the strands of the Web itself, this first installment sets the stage for a sprawling series that promises to both inspire and thrill.
