The Norsewomen series is inspired by the life of Åsa Haraldsdottir, a queen who ruled in the early Viking Age. The sources barely mention Åsa, yet she is a woman who managed to take vengeance on her father’s murderer, seize control of her ancestral kingdom, and rule alone for twenty years during the most tumultuous time of Norse history. The Norsewomen imagines her life story, based on archeological evidence and a deep understanding of the Norse culture.
