Overview

Ninth-century Norway, the dawn of the Viking era-a land shattered into thirty warring kingdoms. A woman could seize power, if she was bold enough.



Daughter of a Norse king, fifteen-year-old Åsa dreams of becoming a shield-maiden. When she spurns a powerful warlord, he rains hellfire on her family, slaughtering her father and brother and taking her captive. To protect her people, Åsa must wed her father's killer. To take vengeance, she must become his queen.



Contains mature themes.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"The Norse Queen brims with action in a world both exhilarating and terrifying, peopled with sorceresses, warring jarls, and even shape-shifters. In its tale of one woman's steadfast courage in the face of tragedy, it gives life and breath to a long-forgotten 9th century queen."

--Patricia Bracewell, Author of Shadow on the Crown and The Price of Blood

"A journey back into the heart and soul of ancient Viking realms. Queen Åsa of Tromøy, a true historical figure almost lost in the mists of time, returns to vivid life in The Norse Queen. Step inside a Scandinavian saga in all its richness. If you love Beowulf you will also love The Norse Queen." -Margaret George, NYT Bestselling Author

"The Norse Queen is an absorbing tale of sacrifice and courage. Åsa is a strong, intelligent woman who'd envisioned becoming a Shield Maiden. She is a skilled warrior with a deep love for her family. The narrative switches between her and Olaf, a man who struggles to meet his father's impossible expectations. I was riveted to the pages as each character fought against the constraints Gudrod bound them both with. The characters are complex and compelling." --Editor's Choice, Historical Novels Review
