Signy Kráka

Signy Kráka is a story of völva magic, of friends and foes, of fortitude, of loss, survival and betrayal.

The young girl, Signy, is unaware of the life thread the Norns spin and weave for her, but she is about to find out.

It is the year 829 CE, Signy has grown up in a tiny hamlet on one of the isles in Southern Denmark and knows the outside world only from stories. Events take her to Svealand and to the bustling market town Birka, a vastly different place, and to a new life in the household of the town völva, a Norse shamanic healer and witch.

The Norns want her to stop hiding her own strength. And they use every choice she makes to bring her closer to knowing herself.

Written with attention to historical detail and sweeping imagination, this atmospheric story transports the reader into the culture and beliefs of Viking-Age Scandinavia.
