A tale sought to be as old as time. A story told around a campfire as the children eagerly leaned in, hungry for the next plot. The story of young gods that commanded the winds and tides, that wove your fate and destiny; gods that rode into battle on the backs of mighty steads, axe in hand, and shield in the other.
A story of thunder and lightning, and snakes that writhed through tall grass. A story of love.
Asgard and Vanaheim. Two sister realms of the World Tree, Yggdrasil. Both realms raged war for centuries over a long forgotten matter. Thousands killed, cities laid to waste. From this war, Freya and Iwaldi, rulers of Vanaheim, strike a truce with the All-Father Odin in attempt to finally bring everlasting peace through the Nine Realms.
Sigyn, Princess of Vanaheim, and Thor, Son of Odin, are arranged to marry for the sake of their realms. Neither of them want it. Neither of them love each other.
The young God of Mischief, however, brews himself a plan.
But, with all the bad luck in the nine realms, Loki falls for the young Princess. Young love blossoms like a flower from its bud. Both families are against it and try everything in their power to keep them apart. It's not an ideal match. The silver-tongued Prince cannot be trusted to keep everlasting peace.
Whether it be The Norns, nothing can keep them apart in the end.
Until a terrible tragedy bestows them and Loki falls from Asgard.
(Based on Norse Mythology.)
A dual pov narrative from both main characters-Loki and Annalise. If you enjoy slow burn, immersive stories, with a good plot and the long awaited spice, then stop your search. Here is the story for you!
As the newly crowned king of Jotunheim, Loki embarks on a quest to delve into the hidden history of his land, seeking to understand its past. To his dismay, he uncovers a distressing truth: Jotunheim had been exploited by other realms, resulting in the loss of precious treasures during its period without a ruler.
Fueled to reclaim what rightfully belongs to him, Loki successfully sets forth on a mission to retrieve each and every lost treasure. However, one realm in particular proves a significant challenge-the formidable realm of Vannaheim, protected by a heavily fortified Great Wall.
Loki sees this as his ultimate test, believing that conquering the impregnable wall will earn him a place in history. Yet, a surprising twist awaits him beyond the wall. Behind its mighty defences resides Queen Annalise, a force more powerful than mere bricks and mortar.
Their meeting awakens emotions within Loki that he never anticipated-an intense love that compels him to do anything in order to win her heart. Even deceit.
But just as he thinks he's gained everything he's ever wished for, an evil foe enters, threatening to take it all away.
