The Witch's Heart

Genevieve Gornichec's "The Witch's Heart" plunges into the untold saga of Angrboda, a banished witch whose life truly begins after a brutal punishment from Odin leaves her scarred and powerless. Forced into exile in a remote forest, Angrboda's distrust of the gods slowly gives way to an undeniable love for the enigmatic trickster, Loki. Their clandestine union blossoms, leading to the birth of three extraordinary children, each destined for a powerful and perilous future, whom Angrboda fiercely strives to shield from the watchful eyes of Asgard. As her prophetic powers rekindle, Angrboda foresees a devastating fate for her beloved family and, potentially, all existence. Faced with a destiny she once tried to outrun, she must choose: passively accept the inevitable, or rise with formidable resolve to reshape the very fabric of fate. This fierce and subversive debut offers a profound, feminist re-examination of Norse myth through the eyes of a resilient mother and powerful witch.
