My name is Morgen, and I'm setting the record straight about the Norse myths. Not because I wanted to so much as I was convinced to. By Idun, goddess of youth.
See, she was tired of humanity believing the stories written down hundreds of years after her followers had died and moved on to the next world. She wanted the opportunity to tell her story her way. And she wasn't going to give up until I agreed to tell it.
In Asgard, your immortality isn't guaranteed. It's given by Idun in the form of an apple. Now that a giant from Jotun is interested in her, plans are afoot for her capture and kidnapping.
But when the gods begin to age, they must go on a desperate search for Idun. Who stole her? And why? And how can they stop their rapid descent into old age before it's too late?
Nobody, least of all Loki, expected it would be he who took the lead in both kidnapping and saving Idun.
Now Idun must choose to trust her kidnapper or remain with the giant Thiazi in his home in Jotunheim. And really, he's not such a bad guy.
Apples for Idun is her story retold for 21st Century readers, in the words of the gods themselves.
