Between Order and Oblivion | l. laufeyson

Kintsugi-The Japanese art of repairing broken pottery or glass with gold or other materials. Not covering the damage, but highlighting it, telling the history and embracing imperfections instead of hiding them.

...

Finn Martin was never meant to be a hero. A ghost in both the intelligence world and the underground, he's operating on both sides of a war he doesn't even realize he's a part of. His abilities-a gift turned curse-allowing him to be a walking emotional conduit; sensing emotions, manipulating feelings, and uncovering truths that people fight to keep buried.

But sometimes, those truths are better left undiscovered.

And when a job meant to be clean leads him to a classified project that shouldn't even exist, Finn finds himself trapped in a deadly game where the rules keep changing.

Enter Loki-Norse God of Mischief and Trickery. His original goal? Take over Midgard, putting the humans inhabiting the realm into unwilling subjugation. Being captured and bound was never part of the plan-and neither was meeting the man sent to detain and interrogate him.

Loki sees through Finn in a way that no one else has before. He offers knowledge, power, control-and something Finn can't quite put a name to. Something that feels suspiciously like understanding. Like recognition.

But as we all know, everything with Loki comes at a price.

As the lines between loyalty and survival blur, Finn is forced to navigate a web of shifting allegiances, dangerous truths, and a man who thrives in chaos. Because in a game where everyone is playing a part, trusting the wrong person could cost Finn more than just his life.

It could cost him his past, his future-and the one person who might just understand him best.
