Over Sea

Beautiful... Anyone who loves brilliant historical fiction will fall in love with Bera. Kate Mosse

At the edge of the Ice-Rimmed Sea, around AD 920, a young Vala is struggling to understand a power she has inherited but never learned to use.

Bera comes from a long line of women whose mysterious gifts pass from mother to daughter. But her mother died when she was four, leaving Bera alone with her visions, her skern and the expectations of a people who doubt her abilities.

When a voyage in search of a cure ends in tragedy, Bera vows revenge. But before she can act, her father promises her in marriage to a wealthy trader and sends her away from everything she has ever known.

Thrust into an unfamiliar world of trade, violence, rivalries and ancient beliefs, Bera must learn to understand her powers and find her place as a wife, healer and Vala. As her visions reveal dangers others cannot see, she begins to discover that her future may depend not on becoming the woman others expect, but on finding her own way to lead.

Steeped in Norse belief and the dark myths and legends of the British Isles, Over Sea is an immersive story of love, loss, revenge and a young womans journey into her own power at the height of the Viking Age.
