Melody of the Dark — Melissa Sasina

The Door of the Valkyrie has been opened... Maeja and her unlikely band of rebels and sky pirates have finally arrived in Brightstone. They need to get to the next treasure of the Gods, Thor's hammer, before the Empire does. If they can't get the hammer first, then the Empire is one step closer to awakening the dark god, Loki. Seeking to get their hands on Thor's hammer, brothers Connor and Linkyn agree to enter the Honor Battles and publicly reveal themselves, as well as Maeja, to the Empire which hunts them. However, the Empire proves to be only part of their troubles. There are murmurs that they have been followed to Brightstone by someone whose heart is far darker that the Empire...someone with eyes set on Maeja... Journey into Melody of the Dark, the second installment in The chronicles of Midgard!
