Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
Oddny and Gunnhild meet as children and bind themselves together long before they understand what that promise will cost. One yearns for steadiness and home, the other for power and the thrill of becoming something feared and revered. When a prophecy entwines their fates, their bond becomes both shelter and burden.
In The Weaver and the Witch Queen, Norse myth and lived history sit close together. Oddny’s life is shattered by violence and loss, forcing her onto uncertain paths shaped by survival rather than choice. Gunnhild, meanwhile, pursues her destiny with fierce intention, learning the craft of a witch and the weight that power demands. Time and distance change them, but do not loosen the thread between them.
When their paths cross again, loyalty is tested against ambition, grief, and the gods themselves. The novel is grounded in blood oaths and woven fate, attentive to the quiet costs of prophecy as much as its grandeur. It asks what it means to love someone whose future may undo your own.
