When Castiel first saw the green-eyed stranger in the woods, he never imagined that he would find himself bound to the man and forced onto a boat, stolen away with his brothers from everything they’ve ever known. Dean is a brute, gruff and dangerous. Castiel wants so badly to hate him. Norsemen have a terrible reputation and Dean seems to be no different. But, for reasons unknown, Dean seems bent on protecting Cas instead of harming him as Cas had expected. When Cas sees Dean’s sword, he knows there is more to Dean and his brother than meets the eye.
