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.Their union produces three unusual children, each with a secret destiny, who Angrboda is keen to raise at the edge of the world, safely hidden from Odins 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.With help from the fierce huntress Skadi, with whom she shares a growing bond, Angrboda must choose whether shell accept the fate that shes foreseen for her beloved family...or rise to remake their future.
