Instead, she discovered her true calling as a volva—a Viking witch—serving a village founded in the Viking age by Norse settlers escaping some terrible enemy whose identity was lost to time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px; font-family: \" cormorant garamond serif font-size:=\"\"\u003eNow she lives in the hidden town of Villmark full-time. But her Villmarker friend Kara, undergoing a high-risk pregnancy, needs Ingrid’s help navigating the modern world. Or, at least, the slice of it represented by the world’s largest inland port where ocean-going ships bring goods from around the world: Duluth, Minnesota. For someone whose life has always been confined to the protective bubble of her Viking-descending community, the city overwhelms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px; font-family: \" cormorant garamond serif font-size:=\"\"\u003eBut Kara and her husband, with the help of some of Ingrid’s other friends, settle in to a cozy little apartment in a historic building close to the clinic and the hospital.

Because something strange things keep happening in the alley behind that building. The building, with its long history, is a haven for ghosts. But what Ingrid senses just might be more than a mere haunting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px; font-family: \" cormorant garamond serif font-size:=\"\"\u003eIt might, in fact, be something more magical than that. Something that only she as a volva can face.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ratatoskr Press","offers":[{"title":"Perfect Bound","offer_id":50550822863152,"sku":"9781965167496","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/snare-in-the-blind-alley","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
