A novella from award-winning author Katherine Starbird.
“A captivating tale of Norse Gods, sea witches and a hero in denial.”
In this riff on classic norse myths, Elof is on a voyage around the world in a tiny sailboat when an aging siren draws him into a city marina. Soon he forgets his voyage and the animosity for his absentee father that fueled it as he is assimilated into the group of men who adore Reenie Gyse. She grows younger and stronger as Elof struggles to retain his identity.
Reenie Gyse is a coming of age story about a modern-day viking, a young version of Odin, on a quest for his soul. Based on Norse myths and combining Nordic mythology with the classic tale of the siren’s song, this fantasy novella creates a new Viking mythology for young adults.
“Sometimes it takes a supernatural intervention to show us who we really are.”
