A punishment from Odin for sharing her visions of the future with the wrong people, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the furthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be the trickster god Loki, and her initial distrust of him¿and any of his kind¿grows reluctantly into a deep and abiding love.</p><p>Their union produces the most important things in her long life: a trio of peculiar children, each with a secret destiny, whom she is keen to raise at the edge of the world, safely hidden from Odin''s all-seeing eye. But as Angrboda slowly recovers her prophetic powers, she learns that her blissful life¿and possibly all of existence¿is in danger.</p><
