Linnea Hartsuyker can trace her family lineage back to the first king of Norway, and this inspired her debut novel, The Half-Drowned King, the first book in her trilogy about the Vikings, which was published in the United States and six other countries. The Half-Drowned King was an Indie Next selection, a Barnes and Noble Discover Pick, and named the best historical fiction book of 2017 by the American Library Association. She grew up in the woods outside Ithaca, New York, studied Engineering at Cornell University, and received an MFA in creative writing from New York University. |
