The Witch’s Heart – A banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster (Paperback)

Our summary description

As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.

Angrboda’s story opens not with awakening but with punishment. Burned for sharing visions of the future, she survives stripped of power and retreats into the furthest reaches of the forest, carrying pain that is both physical and divine. It is there she meets Loki, a god she has every reason to distrust, and from that wary beginning grows a love shaped by wit, tenderness, and shared defiance.

In The Witch’s Heart, Angrboda claims a quiet life at the edge of the world, raising her three extraordinary children far from Odin’s gaze. Motherhood becomes an act of resistance, rooted in care, secrecy, and fierce protection. Yet prophecy cannot be silenced forever. As her powers return, so does the knowledge of what awaits those she loves.

The novel reimagines Norse myth through the eyes of a woman usually pushed to the margins, grounding gods and monsters alike in grief, devotion, and choice. The Witch’s Heart lingers on the cost of foresight, and on whether love can alter what has already been foretold.
