Greenland, AD 1000
More than her fiery hair marks Freydís as the daughter of Erik the Red; her hot temper and fierce pride are as formidable as her Viking father’s. And so, too, is her devotion to the great god Thor, which puts her at odds with those in power—including her own brother, the zealous Leif Eriksson. Determined to forge her own path, she defies her family’s fury and clings to her dream of sailing away to live on her own terms, with or without the support of her husband.
New Hampshire, 2016
Like her Icelandic ancestors, history professor Emma Moretti is a passionate defender of Norse mythology. But in a small town steeped in traditional values, her cultural beliefs could jeopardize both her academic career and her congressman father’s reelection. Torn between public expectation and personal identity, family and faith, she must choose which to honor and which to abandon.
In a dramatic, sweeping dual narrative that spans a millennium, two women struggle against communities determined to silence them, but neither Freydís nor Emma intends to give up without a fight.
About Amalia Carosella
Amalia Carosella began as a Biology major before taking Latin and falling in love with old heroes and older gods. After that, she couldn't stop writing about them, with the occasional break for more contemporary subjects. She graduated with a BA in Classical Studies as well as English. A former bookseller and avid reader, her current interests focus primarily on the Age of Heroes and Bronze Age Greece, though anything Viking Age or earlier is likely to capture her attention. Today, she lives in upstate New York with her husband, and dreams of the day when she will own goats.
Amalia particularly enjoys exploring myths that have been overlooked, the footnotes that change or challenge the most popular interpretations, and allow those characters involved a new voice to tell their stories. Helen, Theseus, and Pirithous are some of her favorites!
She also writes fantasy and paranormal romance as Amalia Dillin.
VIKING ROMANCE. But also a dual timeline story and I do adore those.

This sounds really good, and I’m not a huge fan of historical fiction. I also love divided time lines like this! Plus, I want that necklace…

Dual timelines is my favorite (if done right). That necklace is pretty awesome. 😀

Yay!! I hope this is good and that you/I like it. Even if it’s not fab, I really hope you try her straight historical fiction about Helen of Troy. So good!

I’ll have to add those to the list too! I love Greek mythos and reading about Helen’s backstory would be quite interesting indeed.
