Synopsis

Storms don’t care who you love.
But the devil does.

On a Viking coast where winter eats hope one net at a time, Rúna has learned the only rule that matters: do not beg for mercy. Mercy is a story people tell when they’re trying to survive shame.

Then the sea delivers her an enemy.

Leif should have drowned with his crew. Instead, he washes onto Rúna’s beach half-dead, broad-shouldered, and marked by the very clan that buried her brother. Keeping him alive is treason. Killing him might be the mistake that finally finishes her village.

Because someone else has been waiting for this storm.

A hooded “seer” with a wolfish grin and a gold ring carved like a trident drifts along the cliffs as if he owns the shoreline. Mephistopheles doesn’t demand worship. He offers deals. Quiet, tempting, reasonable deals that sound like salvation when the wind turns cruel.

A safe winter. Full nets. Victory over rivals. An end to the blood-curse that keeps dragging both clans toward the same graves.

All he asks is consent.

When the next great storm comes to collect, the village must renew the old pact and surrender a life. One clean sacrifice to keep everyone else breathing.

Rúna refuses to choose a victim.
Leif refuses to let her become one.
And the more they fight the bargain, the more impossible it becomes to ignore the truth burning between them: they have known each other before, in another sea, in another ending that tore their hands apart.

Now enemies are closing in, elders are sharpening tradition into a knife, and the devil is smiling like this is his favorite part of the story.

Break the pact, and the storm will still come.
Sign it, and love becomes the payment.

Blood & Salt is Book Two in Mephisto’s Wager, a dark, atmospheric historical time-travel romance trilogy packed with stormy Viking vibes, forbidden attraction, a morally gray devil, and slow-burn, closed-door heat driven by big feelings.
