LA STORIA DI ANGRBODA INIZIA come finisce la maggior parte dei racconti di streghe: con un rogo. Così Odino ha deciso di farla punire per non avergli rivelato il futuro. Da quel momento la strega Angrboda, ferita e impotente, vive raminga nella Foresta di Ferro, lontana da tutto.

Qui, la trova Loki, dio dell'inganno, venuto per restituirle il cuore rimasto sulla pira; e presto l'iniziale diffidenza della donna si trasforma in una passione intramontabile, da cui nasceranno tre figli, tre creature uniche.

Angrboda li cresce ai confini estremi del mondo, lontano dall'occhio onnisciente di Odino, cercando di costruire una tranquilla vita domestica. Ma una visione le mostra cose spaventose che attendono la sua famiglia, e tutti i Nove Mondi.

E ora Angrboda deve scegliere: sottomettersi a un destino cui ha già assistito, o lottare per ridisegnare il futuro di coloro che ama e dell'universo intero?

When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this fierce, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse myth.

Angrboda's story begins where most witch tales end: with being burnt. A punishment from Odin for sharing her visions of the future with the wrong people, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the furthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be the trickster god Loki, and her initial distrust of him—and any of his kind—grows reluctantly into a deep and abiding love.

Their union produces the most important things in her long life: a trio of peculiar children, each with a secret destiny, whom she is keen to raise at the edge of the world, safely hidden from Odin's all-seeing eye. But as Angrboda slowly recovers her prophetic powers, she learns that her blissful life—and possibly all of existence—is in danger.

Angrboda must choose whether she'll accept the fate that she's foreseen for her beloved family—or rise to remake it.

One of the most popular role-playing properties in the world gets new life with this trio of horror novellas set in Vampire: The Masquerade's World of Darkness by three brilliant talents: Genevieve Gornichec, Cassandra Khaw, and Caitlin Starling

The subtle horror and infernal politics of the World of Darkness are shown in a new light in Vampire: The Masquerade: Walk Among Us, an audio-first collection of three novellas that show the terror, hunger, and power of the Kindred as you've never seen them before.

In Genevieve Gornichec's A SHEEP AMONG WOLVES, performed by Erika Ishii, depression and radicalization go hand-in-hand as a young woman finds companionship in the darkness...

In Cassandra Khaw's FINE PRINT, performed by Neil Kaplan, an arrogant tech bro learns the importance of reading the fine print in the contract for immortality...

And in Caitlin Starling's THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY, performed by Xe Sands, ideals and ethics bump heads with appetite on a blood farm.

Three very different stories from three amazing, distinct voices, but all with one thing in common: the hunger never stops, and for someone to experience power, many others are going to have to feel pain.
