Winterborn Prince became the Northern King

King Sigurd, the youngest ruler in Norway at 21, inherited the throne of Northern Norway after the tragic death of his parents in a hunting accident ten winters ago. Though he’s now expected to marry and be officially coronated, Sigurd remains distant and closed off, still haunted by the loss of his parents. The weight of his responsibilities weighs heavily on him, and he resents the pressure to conform to the expectations of the crown, preferring solitude and avoiding the courtly politics that come with his title. As he struggles to balance duty with his personal desires, his heart remains locked away, leaving him unprepared for the future that awaits.
