The Weaver and the Witch Queen BY Genevieve Gornichec

In tenth-century Norway, the lives of two women, Oddny and Gunnhild, become inextricably linked through a powerful and prophetic bond. Oddny desires a quiet, simple life, while Gunnhild yearns for power and escape from her oppressive mother. Their paths cross as children when a visiting wisewoman delivers an ominous prophecy involving Oddny, her sister Signy, and Gunnhild. Bound by a blood oath, the three girls vow to support each other through any ordeal.

Oddny’s life shatters when Viking raiders attack her farm, kidnapping her beloved sister Signy. Determined to save Signy, Oddny embarks on a perilous journey, driven by her love for her sister and an unexpected attraction to one of the raiders involved in the attack. Her quest takes her through treacherous landscapes and into the heart of Viking society, challenging her to redefine her strength and resolve.

Meanwhile, in the far north, Gunnhild has embraced her destiny, fleeing her past to master the mystical arts of witchcraft. Her journey brings her to the court of King Eirik, the heir apparent to the throne of Norway. As she navigates court intrigue and her own ambitions, Gunnhild's path seems destined to converge with Oddny’s once more.

The enchanted and emotional bonds between Oddny and Gunnhild are tested as their fates intertwine in unexpected ways. Their reunion reveals the true strength of their sisterhood and the depth of their individual destinies. This novel of magic, history, and sworn sisterhood explores the power of prophecy, the resilience of women, and the unbreakable ties that bind them.
