than a little troublemaker. Every step of the way, it becomes clear

of justice, seeing as no one else will fight for her. Gunhild's

in is the mischievous Jotun god Loki, who's chained up in a cave
hidden in a location known only by the gods. Her travels lead

cause. Being a tiny Jotun against a big, powerful world, Gunhild
must fight smart and learn a trick or two from Loki to earn the
title of godhood. Certainly, Gunhild will stop at nothing to forge
