In the twilight of the twelfth century, when the old gods fade beneath the shadow of the Cross, one girl’s fate rekindles the embers of a forgotten power.
 
Born within the walls of Mecklenburg Castle, Milena lives between two worlds. Her father seeks to secure his realm's future through her marriage to a Saxon noble, yet her heart yearns for the mysteries hidden beyond stone and scripture.
 
Guided by intuition and haunted by prophetic dreams, Milena receives a gift destined to find her. But every revelation demands a sacrifice—and the price of awakening may be everything she loves.
 
To claim her true self, Milena must defy the faith that confines her and embrace the knowledge contained by fear—the wisdom whispered in the language of the runes.
 
Runebound is the first book in The Last Rune of Rungardvik—a sweeping saga of love, heritage, and rebellion.
