The Hall of the Jotunn Queen (Skadi’s Saga Book 1) follows the journey of Skadi, a skilled huntress, seeking revenge for her father’s murder. Skadi, daughter of the Jotunn Thjazi, embarks on a quest for justice after the gods kill her father. Her determination drives her into conflict with the gods of Asgard, especially Odin.
After confronting the gods, Skadi demands restitution. The gods offer her a marriage to one of the Æsir and laughter as compensation. Skadi agrees but insists on choosing her husband. However, she must select her mate based only on his feet. She mistakenly chooses Njord, the sea god, instead of the handsome Baldur. The marriage proves challenging due to their clashing lifestyles—Skadi thrives in the mountains, while Njord prefers the sea.
As Skadi navigates her new life among the gods, she struggles with her desires for vengeance and peace. Her inner conflict intensifies when she finds herself entangled in divine politics and power struggles. Skadi’s strength, independence, and cunning help her carve out a place in Asgard, but her heart remains torn between the world of the gods and her Jotunn heritage.
Throughout the novel, Skadi faces not only external enemies but also battles within herself, questioning her purpose and destiny. The story blends adventure, romance, and mythology, with Skadi’s personal growth at its core. Her saga reflects themes of honor, vengeance, and self-discovery as she forges her path through a world of gods and giants.
