The Serpent's Account
The sea doesn't give gifts. It makes monsters.
Rahven is a practical farmer from a starving fjord. He comes back from cold water with an arm the sea hung on him, black and rune-marked, paid for in memory, and it pulls him toward the scattered pieces of the World Serpent. The fight is not man against gods. It is a man against becoming the weapon they all want him to be.
