The Rune Breaks

By Mo Shakor

"When memory burns, only the myth survives."

Bj rn Skaldsson was never meant to return. A Norse skald lost to time, he reappears across centuries-at the exact moments when Norway's culture collapses: burning temples, plagues, the fall of kings. A rune carved into his palm binds him to memory, dragging him forward through history while everything he knows disappears behind him.

In the present day, historian Ingrid Halvorsen discovers a disturbing pattern in ancient documents: one man appearing at every cultural turning point, always unnamed, always erased. As their timelines collide, Ingrid realizes Bj rn isn't just a man-he's a living memory. And now, his rune is cracking.

Together, they must journey through centuries of silence and fire, piecing together a story that was never meant to be told. Because some nations die in war-
but others die in forgetting.

The Rune Breaks is a mythic historical fantasy that blends time travel, Norse legacy, and quiet rebellion. Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman, Madeline Miller, and Dark, it is the first installment in The Memory Saga-a story about what remains when history is buried, and who chooses to remember.
