THE RUNESTONE'S PROMISE

$18.95

It is Norway in 1799 - a time when the kingdom was called Denmark-Norway and Oslo was called Christiana. Gertine’s quiet life as a young farm wife is upended when her mother, Mette, inexplicably calls off her sister’s wedding, only days away. Inspired by a runestone she finds in the woods, Gertine follows clue to clue, one family secret to another, in her need to understand. As she uncovers the story of her mother’s complicated past, she gains so much more than the truth.

About MARI MATTHIAS

Mari Matthias writes for the joy of the story. She gets captured by a tale until it is put on the page. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Mari has always had a creative project underway - from putting on neighborhood plays at age six, to teaching English in Japan at age 18, to opening a Spanish language school at age 29 so her two-year-old would have a community of learners. She lives with her family in Underwood, Washington, and spends her free time exploring and being creative. The Runestone’s Promise is her first novel.
