Ingrid Torfudottir juggled two separate lives for the longest time. In one life she struggled at aspiring to be a professional book illustrator, living with her grandmother in a Minnesotan fishing town on the North Shore of Lake Superior. In the other, she answered an ancestral calling to serve a village founded in the Viking age by Norse fishermen escaping some terrible enemy whose identity was lost to time. Now she lives in the Norse village of Villmark full-time. Her house lies in the middle of town where anyone can find her. But loneliness is her companion now that her boyfriend Thorbjorn has gone far to the north to accompany her friend Loke on a mysterious quest. But lonely doesn't mean bored, because life as a volva, a Norse witch, is never boring. And when a storm blows through, destroying all the crops and leaving too many signs of ill omen, Ingrid definitely has her hands full. Then Loke's sister Esja starts to behave very strangely. Something is going on, and it's up to Ingrid to figure out what, before it's too late.
Autorenporträt
Cate Martin loves to mix mysteries and magic. And she does it a lot. Like in all three of her witch mystery novels series: The Witches Three Cozy Mysteries, The Viking Witch Cozy Mysteries and The Weal and Woe Bookshop Witch Mysteries. She also loves to mix mysteries and history. Whether that's 1930s St. Paul, Minnesota like in her Dorothy Lundegaard P.I. short fiction series, or whether it's ninth century Norway like in her Ljota and Kiallakr short fiction series. She even loves her mystery straight up, no chaser, like much of her fiction which has appeared in the quarterly magazine Mystery, Crime and Mayhem. And her alter ego Kate MacLeod has even been known to mix mystery with her science fiction. You can learn more about her work at CateMartin.com and at RatatoskrPressBooks.com.
