There's a dragon in Victorian London. A metaphorical knight is on the loose. And a strange young woman falling into the cupboard. Even Sherlock Holmes is a little perplexed. Sometimes storylines can get a little tangled. Hamlet slips into Wonderland, Harry Potter's portkey leads to Dante's Inferno. Luckily, there's Storykeepers to get things back in order. Except, this time something has gone really wrong. Someone is deliberately pulling on the narrative threats, manipulating story lines, changing the rules of reality itself. There's a spider in the web, and Moriarty means to unravel it all.

A looming darkness has gathered, and the storm is headed for Asgard. Thor needs help, and more than that, he needs the girl raised on Earth. The Earth girl, and his imprisoned brother. Valkyrie Sutton is of Earth. Or Midgard. Or whatever. When Thor, God of Thunder, appears to take her to Asgard without much explanation, Val finds out things about herself she never expected. Tossed into chaos and ripped from her former life, Val finds trouble, and trouble goes by the name of Loki. And like it or not, she needs Trouble's help to save Asgard. Secrets are revealed, bonds are formed, and chances are taken. She will risk everything in the process, all for the sake of the kingdom that threw her away. Post-Avengers.

Dear Reader, The following work was found sealed in the library of a castle, belonging to an ancient noble family, in the Champagne region to the east of Paris. The dates of the events contained within are attributed to sometime in the 18th century. It appears that any other record of the Marquis featured within, and the estate that he kept, have since been expunged from historical record. It is as if there was an omertà (conspiracy of silence) which sought to erase him entirely from collective memory - one that might have succeeded if not for the astonishing recovery of these letters. It has been my duty to act as caretaker to this work since I agreed to its restoration. I have found, regrettably, that my colleagues have failed to grasp the momentous importance of these letters and their wider significance. There is, I admit, some question of authenticity that requires consideration. For my part, I have forcible reasons to believe that these letters are genuine. I have submitted the work to a broader audience, however, for precisely this object; I have hope that, by breaking outside the narrow remit of literary academia, I may yet find a willing readership committed to studying these letters as seriously as I have. As the Judge might once have heard it, so the Reader shall hear it now. Unfortunately, I must also include a notice of warning: the letters of Charlotte B--- speak of diabolical horrors and the direst human cruelty. I believe that, were these letters recognised, they would take the place as the first of the modern écritures maudits (damned writings), above de Sade or Corbière. Hence, I recognise that such subject matter is certainly not for everyone. Should you decide to turn to more pleasant reading, I certainly could not blame you. The world can be a sombre and unforgiving place without having to reflect on its grimmest parts. The choice to continue, Reader, is entirely your own. Yours faithfully, Dr. Samuel J. Collins

"Her name is Hela," he replied, watching the infant lose interest in the shield and move onto something else. Hela looked up at the mention of her name and the same grin came across her face. The smile reminded the Avengers of Loki, it was clearly obvious. The child seemed more innocent, but she was clearly his daughter. It didn't take a genius to know what they were about to do. The Avengers were about to have their hands full. Loki's only daughter was taken from him when she was just a baby. Her father was a criminal and unfit to care for her, and her mother was dead, so Odin ordered Hela to be sent to Midgard. Thor automatically calls up S.H.I.E.L.D. and soon Hela is being sent there to be raised by the Avengers. How will the young girl turn out being raised by superheroes, and more importantly, how will Earth's Mightiest Heroes fair against Loki's daughter?
