About this listen

Game of Thrones meets the Norse Sagas in this Grimdark Fantasy Viking Adventure

A witch craves a crown. A warrior seeks honor. The Norns demand a sacrifice.

The Norns haven’t been kind to Bergrún. In a world that scorns ambitious girls from poor families, Bergrún was never given a chance. Bullied, humiliated, and cast aside, she turned to the dark powers of ancient Norse magic not just for revenge, but for justice. To forge a new order from the ashes of the old—a future she would rule—the witch seeks a Viking chieftain to conquer her homeland and crown her queen.

But when the capricious Norns throw her into the path of the young and idealistic warrior Rikard, Bergrún must choose between her ruthless mission and an unexpected alliance. Can she manipulate the threads of fate and claim her bloody crown, or will the old gods and her own heart conspire against her?

This isn't just a book; it's a relentless journey into a world of dark magic, fierce warriors, and ruthless scheming. Forged from the obsidian of Norse Sagas, crowns are won in blood, and loyalty is but a fleeting myth.

Dive into a grimdark fantasy where:

  • Witches & Vikings carve their destinies
  • Dark Magic upends their fate
  • Enemies to Lovers form unlikely alliances
  • Political Intrigue is a deadly dance
  • Flawed Anti-Heroes rise (and fall)
  • And Shocking Betrayals will leave you gasping!

If you love your fantasy gritty, your characters morally grey, your adventures full of twists and turns, and your stakes as high as a raven's flight, then this story is for you.

Kingmaker–The Raven’s Bloody Crown is the gripping second installment in the Heillaður Saga. While it can be enjoyed as a standalone, the story is enriched by listening to Book One, Mae–Death’s Youngest Daughter.
