When Y/N, a mortal girl obsessed with Norse mythology, stumbles upon an ancient spell in an old book, she never expects it to actually work-until she finds herself trapped in Asgard with no way home. Desperate, she sneaks through the golden halls of the palace, searching for a way to reverse the magic. But in her attempt to fix the portal, she only shatters it beyond repair, sealing her fate in the realm of gods. Discovered by Thor, the mighty prince of Asgard, she is met with hostility from the court, particularly the noblewomen who see her as a lowly mortal unworthy of their golden city. But Thor, ever the honorable warrior, takes her under his protection, offering her sanctuary despite the disapproval of his people. She finds solace in his kindness, his unwavering sense of duty, and the effortless way they seem to understand each other. Yet Thor is a future king, bound by expectation to marry a noble Asgardian woman-not a girl from Midgard. Then there is Loki. The dark, silver-tongued trickster, an outcast in his own land, sees in her a reflection of himself-someone unwanted, someone different. He is the first to treat her not as an intruder, but as an equal, drawing her into his world of whispered secrets and forbidden magic. She knows she shouldn't fall for him, not when his mischief turns to cruelty, not when the darkness within him begins to unfold. And yet, she can't seem to stay away. Torn between two gods, she must choose: the light of Thor, whose duty to Asgard threatens to pull them apart, or the shadow of Loki, whose desire for power may consume them both. But as political tensions rise and enemies lurk in the corners of Asgard, one thing becomes clear-the gods may be immortal, but love is just as dangerous as war. Who will you choose, reader?
