Loki: Where Mischief Lies 《洛基:詭計起源》
在與復仇者對決的日子之前,年輕的洛基迫切希望證明自己的能力,雖然他周圍的每個人都認為他內心充滿深不可測的邪惡。除了Amora,一位Asgard 的法師,同時也是個重視魔法和知識的人,她看見了洛基善良的一面。但當他們摧毀了 Asgard 最珍貴的財產時,Amora 被放逐到地球,在那裡她的力量將緩慢且痛苦地消失殆盡。
而後,當洛基來到 19 世紀的倫敦時,踏上了一段無法回頭的旅程,他不僅會發現一名謀殺嫌疑犯,更讓他走上一條發現自己力量來源的道路,並逐漸認清自我,了解到自己想成為怎樣的人。
This is the first of three young adult novels from New York Times best-selling author Mackenzi Lee that explores the untapped potential and duality of heroism of popular characters in the Marvel Universe.
Before the days of going toe-to-toe with the Avengers, a younger Loki is desperate to prove himself heroic and capable, while it seems everyone around him suspects him of inevitable villainy and depravity . . . except for Amora. 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.
But 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.
When Asgardian magic is detected in relation to a string of mysterious murders on Earth, Odin sends Loki to investigate.
As 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.
