"He is a poet bound by tradition. She is a force of nature. In a land ruled by gods and ice, their love is the ultimate rebellion."

Iceland, Year 1000. Fourteen-year-old Katla is as untamed as the valley she calls home. She prefers the "gibberish" songs of the elves and the rugged freedom of the hills to the restrictive linen frocks her noble father demands she wear.

When Helgi, a talented young poet, arrives at her father’s longhouse, Katla’s world shifts. He represents the beauty and words she has always craved, but their attraction is a dangerous flame. In a society where marriage is a political tool and "indecent" love can lead to exile—or worse—their bond threatens to shatter the fragile peace between their families.

Inspired by the Icelandic saga Skáldhelgarímur, Elf Rock is a visceral, sensory journey into the heart of the Viking Age. It is a story of:

• Forbidden First Love: A teenage awakening set against the harsh laws of the 11th century.

• Old Gods vs. New Beliefs: A household divided by the tension between Thór and the "new" Christ.

• The Power of the Otherworld: Where the veil between humans and the "Hidden Folk" is dangerously thin.

Elf Rock is published on Amazon in eBook and paperback. See https://www.amazon.com/Elf-Rock-romance-inspired-Icelandic-ebook/dp/B0CGVLC8PY/
