It’s here!! My wintry, Icelandic mythology-inspired YA Fantasy Songs of Snow is now available and making its way out into the world.

Here’s the blurb again in case you haven’t seen it yet!
Banned magic. An ambitious huntress. A reluctant sorceress. A kingdom at stake.
Kata dreams of a life of wealth and glory, eradicating magic from her kingdom by hunting mythical beings. But when she finds a rare winged unicorn in the woods and fails to kill it, sheβs unwillingly swept off to a mountain sanctuary for the very prey she longs to hunt.
Across the sea, ElΓn loves her simple farm life and is far too practical to believe in magic. When bounty hunters descend on her farm, believing ElΓn to be the last remaining snow sorceress, sheβs forced to flee with a mysterious stranger. If she wants to survive to see her home again, she must travel to the shadowy ends of her world, find a lost book of spells, and learn to wield her newfound icy powers.
When they meet at the mountain sanctuary, ElΓn and Kata learn of an unexpected tether between them. ElΓn is eager to work together to reclaim the refugeesβ homesβand her ownβby defeating the king who banned magic. But there’s a hefty bounty on ElΓn’s life, and this is Kataβs chance to fulfill all her dearest-held dreamsβ¦
Fans of Viking Age fantasy, magical adventures like Margaret Rogersonβs Sorcery of Thorns, and wintry, fairy tale-inspired worlds like Naomi Novikβs Spinning Silver and Meagan Spoonerβs Hunted will love this twist on Icelandic mythology.

If you’ve read Songs of Snow, please consider leaving a review on Amazon, Goodreads, and/or Barnes & Noble.
If you’re interested in a free copy in exchange for an honest review, there are still some eARC spots left through BookSirens!
I also want to thank my wonderful editor Vicky Brewster, my super talented cover illustrator Elaine Ho, and my fantastic cover designer Mallory Rock!
