About the book: year / I'm trying to save her life. I'm trying to stop the war. But nothing with Marion Ravenscroft is ever easy, and no matter what I do, this world wants to go to war. I'm unused to dealing with human women. Especially the human women who perform a striptease for me when I first meet them . Especially with human women, for whom I feel a strange attraction and craving, as if we knew each other before we met. Especially with human women who don't do a damn thing I tell them. I am Tyr, God of War, son of Odin. I am supposed to be the voice of sanity. Among my brothers, I am the one who keeps people from destroying themselves by maintaining peace between their groups. Yet it was Loki who sent me on this mission when his young wife stumbled upon a plot to kidnap the daughter of the President of the United States. It was supposed to be an easy way to stop the war. Easy tracking. Ordinary rescue. I hand Marion over to her father and then deal with the dark forces trying to harm her. But Marion won't let me save her. She may also be the reason I finally lose my cool.
