Genevieve Gornichec writes myth-based historical fantasy, particularly stories that centre women positioned at the edges of familiar Norse legends. The Witch's Heart follows Angrboda, known in myth as the mother of several of Loki's children, giving her a domestic life, friendships and choices beyond her brief mythological role. The Weaver and the Witch Queen moves into Viking Age Norway through two women linked by family, magic and political upheaval. Gornichec's novels are character-led, accessible and rooted in Norse material without reading like direct myth translations. The clearest discovery routes are myth retellings, Norse fantasy and authors such as Madeline Miller. Read more Less
