O knihe

Have you ever wished your parents were human?

Magni never wanted to be like his father, a murderous, absent, cheating alcoholic: Thor - the feared and beloved God of thunder. When Thor destroys everything and everyone his son knows and loves, Magni vows to stop the violence. His dream is to bring peace and prosperity to the Nine Worlds, then settle down with the man he loves. But is it possible to remain good in a place this bad? How do you escape cruelty in a universe built on it, or the shadow of your father when everyone calls you by his name?

Maya knows she's a failure and a disappointment to her foster-parents. How could a child raised by Freya and Freyr - Goddess of love and God of sex - have no interest in the greatest of pleasures? Obviously, it couldn't be the torture they subjected her to, or treating her as a tool that might someday be useful. Maya, her rage at their games more powerful than she knows, wants freedom to pursue her own destiny. But how do you forge your own life away from your God-parents when you're nothing more than human?

A retelling of the Norse myths unlike any other, Children will answer all the questions you never knew you had about the heathen Nine Worlds... before leading you into the Tenth.
