Complete Loki of Midgard Series by Jennifer Meinking


Book 1 Loki of Midgard: The Making of a Magician

If you think you know the Norse god of mischief, think again. Things are not always what they seem, and this trickster is full of surprises.

“Very original and a fresh take on the character, Loki.”—Amanda D

“A journey filled with intrigue and entanglements.”—Tracy E

“We suspect this talented woman is the next JK Rowling.”—Award-winning radio host, Mark Alyn

As Loki’s rite of passage draws ever closer on Asgard, a secret portal just outside the palace repeatedly, almost forcibly, entices him back to Midgard (Earth). It’s the fascinating Jazz Age of 1924. As Loki travels throughout Europe, dazzling adoring crowds with his colorful illusions, he feeds his growing thirst for fame.

Parading as Lukas Black, the showman and magician, proves far more intriguing than studying or playing second fiddle to his warrior brother, Thor. Back on Asgard, King Odin begins to value the overlooked prince, who suspects the Asgardian noblewoman he is expected to marry is connected to both the threat to his father's throne and the murderous stalker pursuing him on Midgard. Meanwhile, why can he not forget the beautiful American singer promised to another?

Torn between two worlds, Loki plays a high-stakes game of risk and danger that could cost him everything. Will his double life be his undoing?

Historical fiction and fantasy lovers alike will find themselves captivated by each twist and turn as Loki explores Norway, France, England, Belgium, and Germany. Join Loki in experiencing

  • The music, magic, food, and culture of the Roaring Twenties

  • Bohemian Paris, theatrical London, and some of the most famous cities on Earth

  • Favorite places and characters from 1920s history, including the Folies Bergère and author James Joyce

  • Gods and goddesses from Norse mythology

  • A bit of fun with Shakespeare

Book 2 Loki of Midgard: The Taming of the Trickster

Loki knows what he wants but risks losing everything at stake. Fully enjoying his double life, Loki flirts with danger as he dashes back and forth between two worlds.

On Midgard during the Roaring Twenties, Loki revels in fame, fortune, and new-found love. As his human friend and manager, Kristoff, promotes his new act in Paris and London, Loki could easily pursue a budding romance with Carina Green, his talented American costar. But can he justify the cost, especially revealing his true identity to her?

And how will he handle Klaus, Carina’s former fiancé, when he returns with threats of force? Meanwhile, on Asgard, Loki’s much-anticipated rite of passage fast approaches. But first, he must complete three days of trials to prove himself—even as he fights to hide his mounting secrets. How will Loki avoid getting caught by Odin and Frigga, his warrior brother Thor, or even the eye of Heimdall, keeper of Asgard’s gates?

Will he keep his promise to his childhood friend Sigyn? And why does it seem King Odin is beginning to favor Loki for the throne rather than Thor, the rightful heir?

As Loki’s duplicity grows, the youngest prince of Asgard and Europe’s favorite illusionist must decide which path to take. Discover new twists and turns in this historical fantasy meets paranormal romance as you explore Asgard in all its splendor, experience more of Paris, London, Norway, and Germany, including actual historical figures and landmarks, and savor delightful tidbits of Norse mythology along the way.
