Ashley Hagood crafts Norse-inspired fantasy brimming with action, magic, and heart. A history major turned web designer, she swapped a career in video games for the adventure of being a full-time author.

If you’ve explored every corner of Skyrim, have a soft spot for Loki, cheer for Eowyn in The Lord of the Rings, and crave wintry worlds steeped in Nordic lore, you’ll feel right at home in Ashley’s stories. Her books invite readers into richly imagined realms where myth and magic collide. She especially loves writing complex, compassionate female characters whose convictions are as strong as their swords.

Off the page, Ashley embarks on imaginary quests with her son, levels up in role-playing games like Dragon Age, and devours books. She lives in California with her husband, son, and a cat who’s convinced she’s a Valkyrie.
