DAUGHTER OF HEART AND FIRE
is a Norse-mythology inspired, new adult romantasy about a magickless daughter of Odin who joins a Viking crew and embarks on a perilous quest to find three ancient relics and open a doorway to Yggdrasil before her traitorous uncle can. Along the way, she'll defy her fate, fall in love with the rival warrior who broke her heart years ago, and fight to save the twin sister she thought was long dead.
DAUGHTER OF HEART AND FIRE
Early Reviewer
“Daughter of Heart & Fire presents us with a violent Vikings-coded world we know and love in an entirely new light. With rich settings, dark folklore, and a main character haunted by omens and scarred by her past, Erickson weaves together the intricate threads of fantasy and romance that will absolutely enthrall readers.”
Early Reviewer
“An incredibly imaginative story, I fell headlong into Daughter of Heart and Fire from the very beginning. Solveig is a fierce heroine readers will immediately connect to, and I enjoyed her revenge-driven quest, as well as the rivals-to-lovers dynamic with Rune. Given how derivative romantasy has become, this was a true breath of fresh air.”
Early reviewer
“A Norse inspired tale about the bonds of family and what we will do for those we love, Daughter of Heart and Fire is as fierce and gripping as it is tender and emotional. This story had me by the throat from the beginning and didn’t let go until the bitter end.”

Everyone has their own chili pepper scale for spice, but you can expect open door romances in all of my books. In DOHAF, there is on-page sex and romance between the main character and love interest.

BACK
My ancestors were Vikings from Iceland and Denmark, so I’ve always had a passion for Norse mythology. I knew one day I would want to write something that incorporated elements from Nordic lore. I also went through a horrible burnout working at a soul-sucking job back in 2018, and it was then I had the first inklings of what would eventually become my main character of this story. Her strength and her fire was what inevitably led to me searching for a new job, and gave me the courage to take my writing dreams seriously.
