I checked it out because of the name. Not my normal genre but very nice. Watched some vids too.
I never knew anyone with that name, but our friend in Norway named her daughter Vilde.

ORIGIN:germanic / old norse NAME ROOT:ALFR / æLFR *HILDIZ > ALFHILDRMEANING:
This name derives from the Old Norse “alfr / ælfR”, meaning “to shine, gleam, elf, supernatural being” plus from the Ancient Germanic “*hildiz”, meaning “battle, fight”. According to Gesta Danorum, Alfhild, daughter of the Geatish king Siward, was a shield maiden, who had her own fleet of Viking ships with crews of young female pirates, who raided along the coasts of the Baltic Sea. As a young princess, Alfhild's chamber was guarded by a lizard and a snake, which scared away unworthy suitors. A Danish prince named Alf, also of Geatish descent, came to Geatland and defeated the animal guards. But Alfhild, advised by her mother, fled from Alf dressed as a man, and she became a shield maiden.
