"Frey and His Wife" by Maurice Hewlett is a historical novel that plunges into Norse mythology, following Ogmund Ravensson, known as Ogmund Dint, as he battles his history and hunts revenge on Halward, the man who once hurt him. The story explores themes of honor, vengeance, and messy relationships within Viking culture. Ogmund, starting with an unclear social position because of his background, starts a trip to Norway, but accidentally crashes with another ship, leading to tension with people like Earl Haakon and Halward. After Halward embarrasses him, Ogmund thinks about revenge, wrestling with what's right and wrong. This mix of inner trouble and exciting storytelling encourages readers to think about who they are, what honor means, and the results of their actions in a world full of conflict and legend.
