Stories of love, family, honor, and betrayal set in the Viking age.
It's the one-year anniversary of the podcast! In this episode, Johanna and I interview each other. We talk about our lives as authors, why we write about Vikings, our research, and more!
When the Valkyries take her husband to Valhalla, Hilda embarks on a journey to the land of the gods to see him one last time. Armed with her unwavering love and guided by the mischievous Loki, she braves the way to Asgard, only to find that her arrival brings trouble. Once she crosses the threshold to Valhalla, not even Odin can foresee the chaos unleashed by her presence.
Hilda’s reunion with her husband is fraught with menace from the other Viking warriors in Odin’s hall. The magic of Valhalla is broken and the balance between good and evil upset as long as Hilda remains in the land of the dead. In a desperate bid to escape, Hilda is aided by gods, goddesses, and Valkyries, as they rush to return her to the human world.
With the chaos around her reaching its peak, she must make a heart-wrenching sacrifice. Will Hilda be able to outwit the gods and find her way back?
