Frey and His Wife

A sprawling saga opens in the rugged North, where a man named Ogmund Ravensson wrestles with a legacy of servitude and ambition. Raised by the formidable Battle‑Glum after his father's rise from thrall, Ogmund blossoms into a broad‑shouldered trader with a taste for furs, gold, and adventure. He balances loyalty to his foster‑father with a restless desire to chart his own course, setting out on a newly built ship laden with family stock and personal profit.

As the vessel slips away from the cold fjords, Ogmund’s thoughts turn to the promises and tensions awaiting him in Norway—an arranged bondwoman, a prospective marriage into a noble family, and the ever‑present rivalries of a world still reshaping under budding kings. The early chapters weave his character, his relationships, and the first stirrings of a journey that will carry him across seas and into the tangled politics of the Viking age. Listeners will be drawn into the rich tapestry of loyalty, greed, and the relentless pull of the horizon.
