Bøger af Zoe Landale

Making a deal with Odin, the most powerful of the Norse gods, is a bad idea. Sigrene, who is considered one of the lowest of the low in Asgard, the Norse city of the gods, knows any dealings with Odin could get her killed, but after her friend is murdered, she is desperate to get justice for the girl.When Sigrene learns the killer will be coming for her next, she's pushed into action. What can she sacrifice to persuade the Norns, the three Fates, to teach her to spin magic to uncover the murderer's name? Between Odin, the Valkyrie warriors and the dragon who gnaws on the roots of the World Tree, Sigrene makes powerful enemies at every level of the Norse Nine Realms. And every choice she makes leads her into more perilous places. No one alive has ever returned from the deepest of the Hel Realms: how can Sigrene?This unique, epic poem explores little-known Norse mythology and pays special attention to form, sound, and imagery. Sigrene's Bargain with Odin contemplates the age-old quandary of where our loyalties lie, and how to act with integrity to find peace in a troubled world.

Running away to an inn at the edge of the world where monsters slide through from other dimensions might not be 16-year-old Jorrie's smartest plan, but she's out of options. To avoid being sent to a military academy for out-of-control teens, Jorrie flees to an inn at the edge of the world owned by relatives she barely knows. When a skeleton is discovered in a near-by pond, long-hidden family secrets start emerging. Jorrie has no magical Talent, is scared of the country and can't understand how she got herself into such a mess. Of course, things can always get worse as she finds out when a dwarrow accuses her of stealing, and she bonds with a wolfhound, triggering a spell that will stop her heart if she doesn't get help from a dangerous High One. How much will Jorrie risk to save her dog? And untaught and injured, can she uncover a Talent of her own in time to prevent someone from burning down the inn and everyone in it?
