About this series
My name is Morgen, and they've asked me to set the record straight about the Norse myths. Not because I wanted to so much as Idun, goddess of youth, convinced me to do it.
See, she was tired of humanity believing the stories written 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, she's gone missing.
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.
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 weaves together vivid descriptions of a mythological world with contemporary realism to tell Idun's story for 21st Century readers, in the words of the gods themselves.
A modern, retelling of the old classics
A great read for both young adults and adults
A wonderful way to gain knowledge of Norse mythology
Apples for Idun is the first book in the From the Myths of Time series
