Northern Nights (2025)

The Winter Crossroads series will feature four standalone novels, each set in Iceland during the winter months. Every book follows a different woman at a turning point in her life, navigating love, change, and personal growth. Though each story stands on its own, the women’s lives are subtly intertwined, forming a rich, shared world. 

In this warm and emotionally resonant sequel to Festive Flames, Asa Marin follows Valéria, a side character from book one, as she seeks a fresh start in northern Iceland. Feeling stuck in her hometown, she takes a job at The Christmas Garden in Akureyri, where rural traditions, new friendships, and a bold singles project begin to rekindle her sense of purpose. As Valéria finally confronts her past and builds something meaningful of her own, romance begins to blossom with a quiet fisherman. Northern Nights is a tender, contemporary story of healing, self-discovery, and second chances set against the backdrop of Iceland’s winter landscapes.
