Author’s Note
THIS NOVELLA IS MEANT to be a rollicking f******d! Although I did research the Vikings, this is a work of fiction and I have embellished for dramatic license. The Norse quotes are from the Poetic Edda poem Völuspá, where a völva, a witch or shaman, tells Odin the story of the creation of the world. You will find the places, manuscripts and objects in ‘real’ life, but I have turned them into a story of my own construction. All mistakes in research are my own.

Inspiration for the story
