THE WEAVER AND THE WITCH QUEEN
The lives of two women - one desperate to save her missing sister, the other destined to become the queen of Norway - intertwine in this spellbinding, powerful novel of Viking Age history and myth from the acclaimed author of THE WITCH'S HEART.
Oddny and Gunnhild meet as children in tenth century Norway, and they could not be more different: Oddny hopes for a quiet life, while Gunnhild burns for power and longs to escape her cruel mother. But after a visiting wise woman makes an ominous prophecy that involves Oddny, her sister Signy, and Gunnhild, the three girls take a blood oath to help each other always.
When Oddny's farm is destroyed and Signy is kidnapped by Viking raiders, Oddny finds herself set adrift from the life she imagined, but determined to save her sister no matter the cost. Gunnhild, who fled her home years ago to learn the ways of a witch in the far north, is on her way to her exalted destiny. But the bonds - both enchanted and emotional - that hold them together are strong, and when they find their way back to each other, those bonds will be tested in ways they could never have imagined in this rich, searching novel of magic, history, and sworn sisterhood.
Genevieve Gornichec earned her degree in history from the Ohio State University, but she got as close to majoring in Vikings as she possibly could, and her study of Norse myths and Icelandic sagas became her writing inspiration. She lives in Cleveland.
