Description
When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in a moving and subversive reimagining of Norse mythology.
Angrboda's story begins with a burning, a punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future. As she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest, she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust transforms into a deep and abiding love. Their union produces three unusual children, each with a secret destiny, who Angrboda is keen to raise at the edge of the world, safely hidden from Odin's all-seeing eye.
As Angrboda slowly recovers her prophetic powers, she learns that her blissful life - and possibly all of existence - is in danger. With help from the fierce huntress Skadi, Angrboda must choose whether she'll accept the fate that she's foreseen for her beloved family... or rise to remake their future.
