Truth and Other Lies: A Loki Fantasy Adventure (The Nine World Chronicles, Book 1)

Nothing is trickier than the truth. All Loki the trickster god of Asgard wants is a peaceful life where hes free to stir up a bit of harmless mischief. But when hes struck by a painful vision of blood, ash, and death he knows his fun has run out. Refusing to have his life obliterated by some stuffy prophecy, Loki feels he must save Asgard. Except the gods stand in his way. They dont trust the God of Lieswhich means his only hope is to return to Odin, the man he wished to forget thanks to their complicated history. When Loki meets a mortal woman, his plans hit a snag. Sigyn is delightfully stubborn and quick with a blade. She also, inexplicably, possesses a divine element found only in a god. As Loki falls deeply in love with her, he never expects their bond to fulfill the prophecy threatening all their lives. Forced between honoring his oath with Odin or protecting the woman he loves, Loki will discover that the only thing crueler than truth are the lies behind it all. And the truth changes everything. * * * Norse mythology reimagined. This addictive adult fantasy series takes place in a world that is dark, twisted, and deliciously fun.

For Loki and Odin, it was supposed to be a typical night out for a couple of Norse gods with the regular drinking, carousing, and contests to see who could eat the most whole roast cows in a rowin other words, the usual. But when a group of Jotnar attacktotally throwing a spear in their plans, Odin is mortally wounded, and only one of Idunn's golden apples can save his life. Theres just one problem...Idunn is missing, and everyone is pointing the finger at Loki (who really resents that hes always the first god they suspect, even though they usually are right). Between getting his back thrown out (literally, Thor rips out his spine in a tantrum) and Odin sliding closer to death with every second, Loki has his hands full...of knives. Its a game of triple-crossing a double-cross, which should be childs play for the trickster god. But with the fate of Asgard and the man he loves hanging in the balance, even Lokis luck may run out...
