Take a guided tour with author Laura through Norse mythology & the historical Viking era, how we've interpreted them differently down the centuries, & how we borrow from it in today's pop culture.

The Vikings are having a moment in modern pop culture, what with Thor: Ragnarok, Neil Gaiman's book, and more. But much of what we see in modern interpretations is far departed from the original mythos. Join the author of The Songweaver's Vow for an overview of the historical Viking era, what we really know -- and don't know -- of Norse mythology, and how these ancient stories are still being told today.
