Stormborn

In the sleepy Norwegian port town of Vargnes, nestled between slate-gray cliffs and cold ocean winds, seventeen-year-old Erik Halvorsen returns for his grandfather’s funeral—only to uncover a truth buried deeper than the fjords. When he touches an old iron pendant among his grandfather’s belongings, something awakens within him: sudden strength, flickering storms in his fingertips, and visions of a war long lost to myth. The gods, it turns out, were real—and they died in a final cataclysmic war centuries ago. All but one. Now, the ancient power of Thor has passed to Erik, not by blood, but by fate. Elders in town—strange, quiet people who speak in riddles and gaze too long at the mountains—begin to recognize him. They call him Åskjempen, the storm giant. But they are not the only ones watching. The town’s most powerful families, those who run the shipping lines and own the fisheries, are not what they seem. They are Frost Giants—Jötnar who survived the war by shedding their monstrous forms and blending into human society. Cold, calculating, and ancient, they have waited generations for this moment: the final god reborn so they can finish what was started. Erik must decide what kind of god he wants to be—if any at all—as he uncovers the truth about his grandfather, the war that ended Asgard, and the storm now growing inside him. The final battle isn’t in the sky. It’s in the heart of a town that’s already chosen sides. Using lewdleah's auto-card scripts. 22 storycards to start with.
