Complete three-book series. Loki wants Ragnarok now. Three teenage demigods make it personal. To kick-start Ragnarok, Loki needs Hel's son to kill Thor's daughter and drag Frey's son into his clutches. Bad plan. Dash would rather betray his family than become Loki's monster, Zoey treats divine commands like loose suggestions and her crystal katanas as the answer, and Alex stares death in the eyes to reclaim the memories and magic Loki needs to win. Together, they betray family, risk love, defy gods, survive the nine worlds, barter with minor gods, and become exactly the problem a Trickster god doesn't need. Norse YA fantasy action-adventure with dark, quirky humor, brutal choices, romance under pressure, and Ragnarok-level consequences.
