Nelson introduces A Common Hearth, the first book in a gripping new historical fiction saga. This emotionally rich and vividly imagined novel is officially released, now captivating fans of epic tales, warrior cultures, and stories of enemies-to-allies. Set in the volatile 9th/10th century, A Common Hearth weaves the lives of Asa, a fierce Norse warrior woman, and Aedelric, a loyal Saxon Thane of Wessex, as they are thrust together by war and fate, across fjords, mead halls, and battle-scarred woodlands. The novel explores what it means to survive, to lead, and to trust even when trust seems impossible.

"She should've killed him. He should've feared her. But the storm had other plans."

With its richly layered worldbuilding and cinematic prose, A Common Hearth captures the harsh beauty of the Early Middle Ages while addressing themes still relevant today: loyalty, cultural conflict, and the cost of war. Far from romanticized heroism, this story brings raw emotional and psychological realism to its characters and settings.
