PRAISE FOR RIDDLE OF THE RUNES

A book that every aspiring shield maiden should keep close to her heart if she wants her buckles to truly swash. A tale with a big, warm, wild heart.
— Frank Cottrell Boyce
I enjoyed the book very much. The characters were engaging and the story full of life and movement. It’s not a perios, or a place, that I know very much about, so I was pleased to find things I learn as well as enjoy.
— Philip Pullman
Steeped in Viking lore and enriched with all
the vibrant colour of Norse mythology, this is
a tale to be enjoyed by all, young or old . . .
I had the enormous pleasure of reading this saga with my own little shield maiden, my daughter, Freyja, who sat wide-eyed throughout. We loved the adventure as a Viking loves mead! More, please!

The historical novel arrives for a new generation—Alva is a riddle-solving, crime-busting hero from the Viking Age—my 21st-century kids were entranced.
