EN MELDING FRA/A message from Gunhild

Gunhild er en norsk kvinne som har fått navnet sitt fra to valkyrier, Gun og Hild, krigsgudinner i norrøn mytologi. Hun kjemper for det hun tror på, men føler seg mer som gudinnen Saga – en sagaforfatter, en kvinnelig skald.

Gunhild is a native Norwegian who takes her name from two valkyries, Gun and Hild, goddesses of war in Norse mythology. She fights with all her might for what she believes in, but she feels greater empathy with the goddess Saga – a saga-writer or female Bard.

Gunhild has worked in journalism and as a disseminator of research  for many years, and in 2013 she achieved her lifelong dream when she  published her first historical fiction in Norwegian, ‘Døtre av Norge’, (Daughters of Norway’), the story of generations of women from one family over a hundred years, told against the background of the battle for female emancipation and equality.

  • Book one in the series is the saga of a Viking woman, Freydis Eiriksdatter, who lived in Greenland a thousand years ago.
  • Book two is a saga about Thoron Haakonsdatter. She is daughter of a very powerful christian norwegian king during 13th century.
  • Book three is about Driva Snødatter, a fictional daughter of King Snow and has to live in times of the horrible Black Death.
  • Book four is about Luzie Nilsdatter, a daughter of the a historical famous rich Norwegian woman Lady Inger at Austrått.
  • Book five is about fictional Hekla Lavasdatter who lives in a time when witch burning is at its peak in northern Norway.
    • HEKLA will be launched this year (2025).

There will be eight book in the series – and will end up in our tima.

  • Powerful figures from Nordic history
  • Strong female protagonists
  • Stories based on historical accounts and the author’s imagination
  • Myths and deities from the ancient sagas and Norse mythology
  • Majestic rugged nature and landscapes

… and of course, the most powerful themes in the world: Life & Death, Love & War.
