Sunngifu: Gift of the Sun
In a world ravaged by Viking raids, you are Sunngifu, a noblewoman from a peaceful English borough. Your life of privilege shatters when the fearsome Viking chief, Einarr, demands tribute your family cannot pay. At a tense feast, your defiance catches his eye, sealing a fate far worse than slavery. Now, captured and alone, you are bound for his distant land. Will you endure the horrors that await, or find a way to forge your own destiny among your captors?
I am dying. Not today, not tomorrow, but I can feel my body slowly giving up the fight. It doesn't matter though, I'm ready.
I wasn't born in this place. My father was a thane of good status, in a faraway country we called England. He ruled a quiet little borough, close to Chester, on the Mercian coast.
My peaceful life behind the old walls built by King Alfred was shattered by the Vikings. They came, demanded tribute, and we paid. But this year, the crops failed. The Vikings were coming, and we couldn't pay. Little did I know, that morning I wished my father a good day, would be the last time I ever would.
