About this book

“A surprise from the author of *Chocolat*,” *New York Times *bestselling author Joanne M. Harris, “this pacy adult fantasy is narrated by Loki, the Norse god of fire and mischief” (*Vogue*).

This novel is a brilliant first-person narrative of the rise and fall of the Norse gods—retold from the point of view of the world’s ultimate trickster, Loki. A #1 bestseller in the UK, *The* *Gospel of Loki* tells the story of Loki’s recruitment from the underworld of Chaos, his many exploits on behalf of his one-eyed master, Odin, through to his eventual betrayal of the gods and the fall of Asgard itself.

Using her lifelong passion for the Norse myths, *New York Times* bestseller Joanne M. Harris has created a vibrant and powerful fantasy novel that the *Sunday Sun *recommends “to her long-standing audience with wit, style, and obvious enjoyment;” *The Sunday Times* claims it “lively and fun;” and *The Metro* adds that “Harris has enormous fun with her antihero...this mythical bad boy should beguile fans of Neil Gaiman.”
