There are children you can leave unsupervised for an afternoon without courting danger. To Odin's consternation, the two young princes of Asgard are not that kind of children. With Frigga absent and Odin distracted with the minutia of government, Thor and Loki sneak out of the palace on a bilgesnipe hunt. Their short adventure leaves Loki badly injured. But the physical injury is not as potent a force as the secrets Odin is determined to protect or Loki's desperate need to live up to his father's expectations.

A maiden is captured during the ongoing war in the Nine Realms at the hand of the God of Thunder. Taken prisoner and labeled a traitor, she hopes to live out the remainder of her life under the radar of the Asgardian prison. That may be a little difficult as her cell is across from the notorious God of Mischief, who cares for no one. But with a greater trouble on the horizon that threatens Asgard and the rest of the realms, is it the work of this troublesome banished and shamed prince of Asgard? Or will their journey end before it can ever truly begin? ❦ PURE ILLUSION SERIES - • BOOK 1: Disfigured Beauty • BOOK 2: Disguised Beauty • BOOK 3: Destroyed Beauty • BOOK 4: Distorted Beauty • BOOK 5: Desolate Beauty • BOOK 6: Denouement Beauty ❦ Copyright © Marvel Comics and Marvel Studios Copyright © ZuzuHiddles Cover © Sanzosin
