LUZIE
Daughters of Freya - Book Four

A Nordic love story. A heathen Ring. A fall of a nation
The year is 1520, and young Luzie is playing with her new friend by the edge of the sea.
She has no idea of the bloody drama that is about to break out in the neighbouring country, or of the momentous events which will have life-changing consequences for herself, her powerful mother, the Lady Inger of Austrått, and for all the Nordic countries.
Nor does she know that she herself is destined to play a leading role in the most dramatic love story in the history of the Nordic countries.
Least of all, she knows about her own pagan origins, and the demanding mission that awaits her as the fourth daughter of Freya. A mission that will devour her life.

LUZIE is the fourth stand-alone novel in the Daughters of Freya-series. The main characters in the series are bound by ties of blood, and they have all been tasked with life-altering quests by Freya, with the survival of the Earth at stake.

This epic historical fiction series spans a thousand years - from the Viking Age to 2030. The novels are built on extensive historical research, including journeys to key locations in the stories.
Beginning with Freydis Eiriksdatter’s voyage from Greenland to Vinland, the series follows seven women of the same bloodline, each facing a formidable task that becomes part of a greater struggle.
So far five novels have been published. The predominantly English-language readership has given the books 2,500+ ratings on Amazon and Goodreads, averaging 4.0-4.7/5. The Norwegian audiobooks have 1,470+ Storytel ratings averaging 4.1-4,3/5.

Seven women. Seven challenges. A thousand years. One destiny
