Genevieve Gornichec earned her degree in history from The Ohio
State University, but she got as close to majoring in Vikings as
she possibly could, and her study of the Norse myths and Icelandic
sagas became her writing inspiration. She lives in Cleveland, Ohio.
The Witch's Heart is her debut novel.
"A deep journey into the mists of the ancient Norse world of gods,
monsters and humans, who shape shift from one to another. But the
heart of the story is a witch's passage over many lifetimes and the
ultimate sacrifice she makes for those she loves. A timeless tale
of great power and artistry."--Margaret George, New York
Times bestselling author of The Splendor Before the
Dark
"With prose as heady as any epic, Gornichec breathes incredible new
life into an ancient saga, filling in the gaps with humor and
passion and heart. A masterpiece."--Emily A. Duncan, New York
Times bestselling author of Wicked Saints and
Ruthless Gods
"Rich and artfully woven, The Witch's Heart takes the
familiar tales of Norse Mythology and tells them from a fresh,
honest perspective... Angrboda is an unforgettable heroine, and The
Witch's Heart a debut to be reckoned with."--Hannah Long, author of
Hall of Smoke
"The Witch's Heart is a unique novel that transforms the
faceless names of an epic tale into living, breathing, sympathetic
characters. With a witty and spirited protagonist, this book will
surprise and delight from beginning to end."-Louisa Morgan, author
of A Secret History of Witches and The Age of Witches
"As epic as it is engrossing, The Witch's Heart is
a testament to the ferocity of one mother's love and the lengths
she'll go to protect those she loves. Utterly unforgettable."
-Alexis Henderson, author of The Year of the
Witching
"This fascinating novel approaches Norse mythology from a brand new
perspective; here old villains are now heroes, and the motivations
of gods, giants, and witches are rarely what they seem... Gornichec
plumbs the depths of what we will endure for family, belonging, and
meaning, and traces the limits of love, friendship, and
vengeance."--Linnea Hartsuyker, author of The Half-Drowned King
