Genevieve Gornichec’s two standalone novels both draw from Norse mythology. The Witch’s Heart (2021) centers on Angrboda, the mother of three of the most feared beings in Norse myth, telling her story from a perspective rarely explored in retellings. The novel was a bestseller and established Gornichec as a distinctive voice in mythology-based fantasy.
The Weaver and the Witch Queen (2023) shifts from myth to historical fiction, set in 10th-century Norway. It follows Oddny and Gunnhild, two young women whose friendship carries them through war, magic, and political intrigue. Both novels share Gornichec’s interest in telling stories about women who shaped the Norse world.
