About this ebook

Ingrid Torfudottir moved to the North Shore of Lake Superior intending to live with her grandmother while pursuing a career as a book illustrator. Instead, she discovered her true calling as a volva—a Viking witch—serving a village founded in the Viking age by Norse settlers escaping some terrible enemy whose identity was lost to time.

Now she lives in the hidden town of Villmark full-time. Her boyfriend Thorbjorn and her best friend Loke remain in the wilds far to the north of Villmark, their fates a mystery to those they left behind. Like Ingrid.

And like Esja, Loke’s sister. Ingrid awaits the next evolution of Esja’s destiny, so intertwined with her own. What happens next will test them both.

But then the unexpected occurs. Something preys on the women of Villmark, killing them in the very streets of the town. And Ingrid and Esja both swear to catch this predator before it strikes again.

About the author

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.
