The Rune Breaks. The Memory Saga, #1

"When memory burns, only the myth survives."Bjørn 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 Bjørn 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 Memory Saga-a story about what remains when history is buried, and who chooses to remember.
