Prophetic Dreams: A Curse or a Legacy
The setting for Prophetic Dreams: A Curse or a Legacy is in 10th Century pagan Iceland. The main character in the novel is Gudrun Osvifsdottir, a woman who struggles with recurring dreams. Pagans believed that dreams held important significance and sought to have their dreams translated by seers. Gudrun is a prominent character in the Icelandic Saga, Laxdæla Saga, alongside the heroines of Alfreða's other two books: Aud the Deep-Minded (A Viking Queen's Legacy) and Melkorka.
