The songs of the skalds tell of honorable gods, epic battles, and infinite wisdom. The skalds are lying. Technically, Hugin and Munin are the legendary eyes and ears of the Allfather. In reality, their job consists primarily of surviving Odin's hangover-fueled decisions and managing the catastrophic egos of the Aesir. When Odin demands earth-shattering news after a night of heavy drinking, the two ravens improvise in sheer panic: they sell him Berta-a muddy, exceptionally gluttonous farm goat from Midgard-as a mystical oracle. What begins as a little white lie escalates in record time into an interdimensional crisis. Suddenly, a neurotic romantic and a cynical archivist must smuggle the goat into Asgard, disguise her as a divine entity using glowing mushrooms and tree resin, and prevent the universe from collapsing into a disaster of vanity, diarrhea-inducing red cabbage, and tactical pudding. Ragnar k was yesterday. Today is laundry day.Includes the exclusive bonus story: The Shadow with the Chicken Feathers Experience the realm of the gods from the perspective of Freya, the goddess of love Annoyed by muscle-bound barbarians, she suddenly discovers bizarre offerings on her balcony: slobbered-on pebbles and knotted earthworms.
