Ergebnis für "Thor" in Paranormal & Urban Fantasy

Melvin Burgess revolutionised children's literature with the infamous cult novels Junk and Doing It. In his first adult novel, Loki, he breathes new life into Norse myths. Starting with the Norse creation myths, the trickster god Loki takes the listener on a wild ride through Norse mythology, from the time the gods—the founders of Asgard—defeated races of monsters, and hurtling through famous stories, including Odin hanging himself on the World Tree, the theft of the corrupting gold ring and the murder of Baldr, the god of love and the Sun. 

Als die 19-jährige Madelaine nach einem Unfall ohne Erinnerungen aufwacht, bemerkt sie schnell, dass die heile Welt um sie herum nichts weiter als eine Fassade ist, aufgebaut zu ihrem Schutz vor den geheimnisvollen Seelenhändlern. Doch wer sind diese Gestalten, deren Anführer Grímnir sein Gesicht nicht offenbart, ihr aber seine Hilfe anbietet? Und warum sollte sie Schutz vor ihrem Cousin Thiazi brauchen, dem einzigen Menschen, der sich um sie kümmert?

Thor is tired of Loki's tricks. The God of Thunder has never paid attention to the doings of mortals, but in this modern age, the idea of "therapy" intrigues him. Maybe the mortals can help him make Loki see sense. Loki might be up to some underhanded dealings with gods of other religions, too. Thor drags Loki in to try "counseling." It might work out, as long as Loki isn't...up to anything.
