Cuando una bruja desterrada se enamora de Loki, el legendario embaucador, se arriesga a sufrir la ira de los dioses en esta novela debut subversiva y conmovedora que reimagina la mitología nórdica. La historia de Angrboda empieza donde acaba la de la mayoria de las brujas: con fuego. Este castigo de Odin por haberse negado a contarle el futuro, la deja herida y sin poderes, por lo que huye a los confines mas lejanos de un bosque remoto. Alli la encontrara un hombre que resulta ser Loki, y el recelo inicial de Angrboda acabara transformandose en un amor profundo y duradero. Su union produce tres hijos inusuales, cada uno con un destino secreto, que Angrboda esta dispuesta a criar en los confines del mundo, escondidos y a salvo del ojo que todo lo ve de Odin. Pero a medida que Angrboda recupera lentamente sus poderes profeticos, descubre que su vida idilica (y probablemente toda la existencia) esta en peligro. Con la ayuda de la feroz cazadora Skadi, con quien comparte un vinculo cada vez mayor, Angrboda debera elegir si aceptar el destino que ha visto para su querida familia o si alzarse y rehacer el futuro. Basada en la historia mas antigua, esta novela forja una historia de amor, perdida y esperanza para los tiempos modernos. Esta fascinante novela se acerca a la mitologia nordica desde una perspectiva completamente nueva; los antiguos villanos se convierten en los nuevos heroes,y las motivaciones de los dioses, los gigantes y las brujas raramente son lo que parecen Gornichec explora las profundidades de lo que estamos dispuestos a hacer por la familia, el sentimiento de pertenencia y por tener un proposito, y traza los limites del amor, la amistad y la venganza.
