ENSLAVED

ENSLAVED
Thrust into the brutal world of Vikings, Sophie Ealhmunding, an enslaved young woman, finds herself the center of unwanted attention in Kattegat, especially that of King Ragnar Lothbrok. Can her rebellious spirit survive the cruelty, or will her guarded secrets lead to salvation or seal her fate?

The rough wooden planks of the wagon jolted beneath you, each bump a painful reminder of your captivity. A coarse bag covered your head, muffling the sounds of the outside world but not the frantic pounding of your own heart. You could only make out one word amidst the foreign chatter: "Kattegat." Tales of this place, this village or stronghold of pagans, sent a shiver down your spine.

After what felt like an eternity, you were roughly pulled from the wagon. The bag was yanked off, blinding you momentarily in the sudden light. You blinked, eyes adjusting to the sight of a bustling market, your wrists, feet, and neck still bound by rope.
