The Norse Queen
Book 1 in The Norsewomen Series. Ninth-century Norway -- a land shattered into thirty warring kingdoms, where a woman can seize power, if she is bold enough.
“Based on the real-life historical figure of Queen Asa, Wittenberg’s thorough and detailed research paints a vivid picture of early medieval Viking life…This is a fascinating glimpse into what a strong woman’s life in Viking times might have looked like..." Editor's Choice, Historical Novels Review
"Highly recommended..." Discovering Diamonds
The Falcon Queen
Book 2 in The Norsewomen Series. "...Wittenberg has a comfortable grasp on Viking culture, from practices preparing food for winter, weaponry and warcraft, as well as ship construction and repair. The varied women’s roles and their training as shield maidens are some of my favorite aspects of the series. Additionally, Asa and Hrolf both use magic to inhabit the bodies of animals, adding an enjoyable mystical layer to the story. The characters and time period come alive within Wittenberg’s prose, casting a spell on all who enter the halls of the Norsewomen series." Historical Novels Review
