When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this moving, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse mythology.

There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love.
