A stolen artifact. A dangerous thief. A love that cannot be owned.
Ingrid Solberg knows the difference between preservation and possession. As a museum conservator, she has built her life around fragile things: ancient goldwork, buried histories, and the reputation her disgraced father left behind. But when a charming relic thief steals a rune-carved bracteate from her gala exhibit, the artifact answers them both with living fire.
Rafe Havel does not steal for pleasure. He steals because debt has teeth, and his younger brother's life depends on one last impossible job. The Fehu bracteate should have been a simple exchange: steal the gold, pay the debt, walk away. Instead, it marks him, binds him to the furious conservator who caught him, and pulls them both into a hidden war beneath the city.
The mysterious Stave House claims the bracteate is the first piece of the Heart-Futhark, an ancient magical covenant shattered into twenty-four runes. But the Hollow tt wants Fehu for something darker: a magic that turns value into control, gifts into obligations, and love into ownership.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, Ingrid and Rafe must follow a trail of false provenance, black-market relics, and dangerous secrets before Fehu's shadow consumes everyone bound by greed, debt, and desire. To save Rafe's brother and expose a collector's empire, they will have to risk the one thing neither of them trusts easily.
A gift freely given.
Fehu: The Price of Gold is the first book in The Runic Romance Series, an adult fantasy romance filled with museum intrigue, magical archaeology, enemies-to-lovers tension, secret societies, dangerous relics, and a complete romantic ending.
