Sigrid Bjornsdottir

Grew up surrounded by saga literature—her mother is a historian with a special interest in Old Norse, her father a blacksmith who reconstructs Viking-age metalwork as a hobby. Spent childhood summers at medieval reenactment festivals. Studied history. Her academic rigor combines with romantic imagination to create historical romance that feels authentic (while taking the right types of liberties) without sacrificing passion. Lives in a turf-roofed cottage; practices historical swordsmanship; absolutely lethal at Viking chess ( at least one of these tree is a lie)
