Synopsis Marvel The Tales of Asgard Trilogy by : Keith DeCandido

Marvel The Tales of Asgard Trilogy tells the stories of Asgard's greatest heroes—Thor, God of Thunder; Sif, the Unstoppable; and the Warriors Three, Volstagg the Voluminous, Fandral the Dashing, and Hogun the Grim. Book One—Marvel Thor: Dueling with Giants When Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, loses its enchantment, only one being is cunning enough to carry out such a trick: Thor's own adopted brother, Loki. As punishment, Odin imprisons Loki for a year, but the trickster soon takes on other forms and escapes his imprisonment. He provokes a dispute between Odin and the giant Hrungnir—one that soon brings a full-scale attack on Asgard and a one-on-one challenge to Thor himself. Book Two—Marvel Sif: Even Dragons Have Their Endings When the nearby village of Flodbjerge is terrorized by a dragon, it is Sif who must answer the call for help. Both her reputation and her life are on the line as she faces the fearsome dragon, Oter. The face-off won't be straightforward either—the winged beast has a secret that Sif will have to unravel in order to defeat him before the village and its people go up in flames. Book Three—Marvel Warriors Three: Godhood's End Throughout the Nine Worlds, giants are known more for their brawn than their brains, but the Frost Giant Thjasse has come up with an inspired plan: defeat the Aesir not by ending their lives in battle, but by stealing their precious Golden Apples of Immortality and letting time take its course. Is Odin's reign over? Or will the Warriors Three prove that it takes more than brute force and a little bit of ingenuity to topple fighters worthy of sharing Odin's table?

Synopsis Marvel Sif: Even Dragons Have Their Endings by : Keith R.A DeCandido

In the action-packed Sif: Even Dragons Have Their Endings, Marvel's Tales of Asgard trilogy tells of the adventures of another of the realm's greatest warriors. When the nearby village of Flodbjerge is terrorized by a dragon, one of its citizens races to Asgard seeking the help of Thor. But with the God of Thunder incapacitated following a battle, it is Sif who must answer the call—much to the villager's dismay. Despite being one of Asgard's most skilled fighters, Sif is used to being doubted. She's also used to overcoming those doubts. There's a reason Sif is known as the Unstoppable. But both her reputation and her life are on the line as she faces the fearsome dragon, Oter. The face-off won't be straightforward either—the winged beast has a secret that Sif will have to unravel in order to defeat him before the village and its people go up in flames. Sif: Even Dragons Have Their Endings will be followed shortly by the final volume of the Tales of Asgard trilogy, Warriors Three: Godhood's End, also written by Marvel veteran and popular fantasy author Keith R.A. DeCandido.

Synopsis The Gospel of Loki by : Joanne M. Harris

“A surprise from the author of Chocolat,” New York Times bestselling author Joanne M. Harris, “this pacy adult fantasy is narrated by Loki, the Norse god of fire and mischief” (Vogue). This novel is a brilliant first-person narrative of the rise and fall of the Norse gods—retold from the point of view of the world’s ultimate trickster, Loki. A #1 bestseller in the UK, The Gospel of Loki tells the story of Loki’s recruitment from the underworld of Chaos, his many exploits on behalf of his one-eyed master, Odin, through to his eventual betrayal of the gods and the fall of Asgard itself. Using her lifelong passion for the Norse myths, New York Times bestseller Joanne M. Harris has created a vibrant and powerful fantasy novel that the Sunday Sun recommends “to her long-standing audience with wit, style, and obvious enjoyment;” The Sunday Times claims it “lively and fun;” and The Metro adds that “Harris has enormous fun with her antihero...this mythical bad boy should beguile fans of Neil Gaiman.”

Synopsis Thor & Loki by : Rob Rodi

"There are two sides to every story. You've heard Thor's -- now it's time to hear Loki's. Odin's least favorite son rewrites Asgardian lore from his perspective! Loki's insatiable lust for power, his conflicted sentiments toward Sif, his antipathy toward Balder, and the deep-seated feelings of longing and resentment toward his older brother, Thor, and uncaring father, Odin, will take on new meaning"--P. [4] of cover.

Synopsis Marvel Warriors Three: Godhood's End by : Keith DeCandido

Marvel's Tales of Asgard trilogy comes full circle in its final volume, Godhood's End, as the Frost Giants once again set their sights on the Aesir. With Thor and Sif still healing from wounds sustained during earlier campaigns, it is up to the Warriors Three to save Asgard. Throughout the Nine Worlds, giants are known more for their brawn than their brains, but the Frost Giant Thjasse has come up with an inspired plan: defeat the Aesir not by ending their lives in battle, but by stealing their precious Golden Apples of Immortality and letting time take its course. Now, with the Aesir's fountain of youth run dry, Thor and Sif are taking even longer to recover from their battles with Frost Giants and dragons, and many of their compatriots are beginning to suffer injuries and infirmities. And so the Warriors Three engage the help of Loki, whose spell will keep Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg on their feet long enough for one final defense of Asgard. Is Odin's reign over? Or will the Warriors Three prove that it takes more than brute force and a little bit of ingenuity to topple fighters worthy of sharing Odin's table? Find out in the riveting conclusion to Marvel's Tales of Asgard Trilogy—an epic adventure that will have readers starting over with the first volume.
