Tales of The Norse Gods: Loki Saves the World

What if the legends of the Norse gods were lies? What if Loki was the hero of the story…

Once, Loki was an honourable god. Slandered and betrayed, he lost family, friends, and his reputation. He rebuilt his life from ruins and now lives the life of a shopkeeper in 19th-century London. Until one fateful Yuletide season, when he is visited by three odd ghosts…

No, not those ghosts. Elven ghosts.

Come read five tales of the gods as Loki’s life is turned upside down by these unwelcome visitors. He embarks on a quest to save the Yule tree, a crazy rescue mission to Helheim involving an evil chicken, and the epic showdown of Ragnarok. Along the way, he finds new allies, old enemies, and his tragic family secrets are revealed, all weaving into his ultimate fate and a looming armageddon. Can Loki be the god he once was, or is the world doomed?

Tales of the Norse Gods: Loki Saves the World is a wild ride through myth, humour, and tragedy. Don’t miss out on this unpredictable set of stories!

Oh, there’s also a tiny dragon!

Meet Heyward and Andersen, consulting detectives in a paranormal London you never imagined…
