Of Woven Fates

A world bound by fate and kin, entangled by the guile of men.

Svealand, 877 CE
Married off by her ambitious mother, Astrid finds herself trapped in a life of domesticity—far from the freedom of her youth. Confined to her husband’s settlement, she is caught between the bitter resentment of his adult son and an inheritance dispute that could destroy her future.

As illness weakens her husband’s hold on power, Astrid must navigate a shifting web of loyalties, secrets, and ancient laws. If she cannot secure her place, she risks being cast out—or worse. The Norns may have woven her fate, but Astrid is determined to tug the threads.

Dark, immersive, and driven by a fiercely resilient heroine, Of Woven Fates is a tense and richly atmospheric historical novel inspired by real archaeological finds and the untold stories of Viking women.

Fans of Patricia Bracewell, Alison Weir, and the evocative worldbuilding of Madeline Miller will find much to love in the Viking Trading Lands series—where myth meets history, and power is always contested.
