Asgard&#8217;s resident sorceress-in-training feels like a kindred spirit-someone who values magic and knowledge, who might even see the best in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when Loki and Amora cause the destruction of one of Asgard&#8217;s most prized possessions, Amora is banished to Earth, where her powers will slowly and excruciatingly fade to nothing. Without the only person who ever looked at his magic as a gift instead of a threat, Loki slips further into anguish and the shadow of his universally adored brother, Thor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Asgardian magic is detected in relation to a string of mysterious murders on Earth, Odin sends Loki to investigate. As he descends upon nineteenth-century London, Loki embarks on a journey that leads him to more than just a murder suspect, putting him on a path to discover the source of his power-and who he&#8217;s meant to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Goshen Public Library call number:  <\/strong> YF LEE (BOOK-YA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mackenzi Lee Year of Publication:\u00a02019 A summary from Goodreads:\u00a0 This is the first of three young adult novels from New York Times best-selling author Mackenzi Lee that explores the untapped potential and duality of heroism of popular characters in the Marvel Universe.
