<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black">“Angrboda’s story begins where most witches' tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda
injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

rise to remake their future. From the most ancient of tales, this novel forges a story of love, loss, and hope for the modern age.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
