The Saga of Adis Raudfeldr - E-book - ePub

Abandoned in the unforgiving Scandinavian wilderness as a child of a disgraced father, young Adis learned to fend for herself. Aware as she grew of the cost of trusting strangers and manipulative mother-in-laws, she escaped her fate twice and set in motion events which shake the forest, the lake and two cultures who must learn to trust each other. Amidst the compelling landscape of Viking Era Scandinavia, and awealth with Trolls, evil spirits, luck deities and draugr, Adis comes to live for herself, and then who to allow into her inner circle in this incredible tale of strength, womanhood and folklore. Those who enjoy historical fiction, mythology, Norse & Icelandic sagas, the Viking Age, and elements of fantasy and the supernatural, would enjoy this book.
As would those who have an interest in ancient Sámi mythology, and how they might have interacted with neighbouring groups. This saga is told from the perspective of female characters within a patriarchal society, and how they maximized their agency. This is becoming an increasingly important and current topic for many. However, it also looks at relationships between people who have been stripped of their identity, men and women alike.
