Asgard's resident sorceress-in-training feels like a kindred spirit--someone who values magic and knowledge, who might even see the best in him. \u003cbr\u003eBut when Loki and Amora cause the destruction of one of Asgard's most prized possessions, Amora is banished to Earth, where her powers will slowly and excruciatingly fade to nothing. Without the only person who has ever looked at his magic as a gift instead of a threat, Loki slips further into anguish and the shadow of his universally adored brother, Thor. \u003cbr\u003eWhen Asgardian magic is detected in relation to a string of mysterious murders on Earth, Odin sends Loki to investigate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAs he descends upon nineteenth-century London, Loki embarks on a journey that leads him to more than just a murder suspect, putting him on a path to discover the source of his power--and who he's meant to be. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eComplete your Marvel YA collection with these best-selling fan-favorite novels: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eGamora and Nebula: Sisters in Arms \u003c\/i\u003eby Mackenzi Lee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eMiles Morales: Spider-Man\u003c\/i\u003e by Jason Reynolds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eUnstoppable Wasp\u003c\/i\u003e by Sam Maggs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eBlack Widow: Red Vengeance\u003c\/i\u003e by Margaret Stohl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eBlack Widow: Forever Red\u003c\/i\u003e by Margaret Stohl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eCaptain Marvel: Higher, Further, Faster\u003c\/i\u003e by Liza Palmer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMackenzi Lee holds a BA in history and an MFA in writing for children and young adults from Simmons College.
