Discover the enthralling tale of a woman who finds the luminous glory of the heart through love, adventure and exploration of the path of the true Spiritual Warrio.

 Marah Hein: The Legend of a Viking Woman takes readers on an exciting journey filled with spiritual and life lessons. Both the heroine's strong will and passion add to the complexity of her character’s tender moments of vulnerability, making Marah Hein the ultimate spiritual warrior!

            Unlike the popular books Unwilling Warrior or Warrior Princess, Marah Hein’s journey is based on her existence within an unfamiliar Viking society.  Marah’s words, perfectly captured by Colangelo, do more than just entertain the reader. She instigates people looking for more in life. This tale is for people exhausted by society’s expectations of what is considered “normal” or “perfection”.  Marah 's legend will help each person experience what it feels like to create their own adventure in life.

         Marah Hein: The Legend of a Viking Woman is a compelling story about collaboration opposed to division, and about living fully, something very much needed in today’s real world. Through Colangelo, Hein’s tale of battles and complex choices promises to resonate with its audience long after the book’s covers are closed



Excerpt

All over the Nordic lands, they gathered around the fire to hear the captivating tales of their gods. The wonders of Creation, the hardships of battles, the wavering will of some, the steadfastness of others, the choices, the treachery, the tribulations, the passion... the glory of the Ases and the magnificence of Walhalla galvanized the old and the young, the weak and the strong alike.
Respecting Mother Nature under the sacred name of Freya, admiring her wisdom, following her rules, appreciating her bounty and thanking her for it all stood at the core of life itself. Winter reigned for long months on the Norsemen's lands. It allowed a slower pace, one more attuned to the inner self. Springtime gave out the first signs that the earth was ready to cooperate with their labour. Slowly, it opened itself up and displayed the richness of its possibilities in the song of the birds returning to nest, in the beauty of the reborn vegetation and in a distinct kind of light.
Summertime. Yes, surely, summertime came all of a sudden. One day, spring simply was over and summer had settled in. One then took care of the Earth and its children, making sure that fruits, vegetables, and animals prospered. Autumn undoubtedly brought along a time of festivities, those of harvesting. Everyone would thank Life for having been so generous and for that generosity to have taken multiple forms.
To each day its duties and its blessings.
To each season its reasons for being.
But always, this people blessed by the gods remained fervently devoted to Freya.
