Wyrdtouched #3 — Alis Franklin
Reimagining Norse mythology for the twenty-first-century and winning comparisons to J.R.R. Tolkien, George R. R. Martin, and Neil Gaiman, Alis Franklin's boldly original fantasy series has the breakneck pace of an all-night D&D session in the back room of a rave club. Now the saga continues in the explosive follow-up to Liesmith and Stormbringer.
Fresh off the cosmic reboot of what was supposed to be the apocalypse, former IT geek Sigmund Sussman and his friends could use a chance to lick their wounds and recharge their batteries. They're coming to grips with the fact that none of them are fully human anymore -- particularly Sigmund's charismatic boyfriend, Lain Laufeyjarson, whose alter ego is the god Loki.
The last thing they need is an errant infection of the Wyrd, the ancient magical force at the root of everything. But a rogue meme is going viral. She's called the Tooth Girl, and she could be a god or a demon . . . or worse. After appearing in a web series made by two young women who have bitten off more than they can chew, the Tooth Girl's video is being shared all over the world, turning her into a ravenous pit of nastiness capable of devouring everything in her path.
Meanwhile, a mysterious organization known as the DDHH is targeting Lain, armed with a weapon that has the power to sever his connection to the Wyrd. Though faced with new challenges, Lain is still a god -- one with a small band of battle-tested, divinely powerful übergamers at his back.
Praise for Alis Franklin's Liesmith
“In this wildly entertaining debut novel, Australian author Franklin has kicked off what's sure to be a popular series. Fractured, funny, and fast-paced, this book is guaranteed to resonate with fans of mythopoeic fantasy from the likes of J.R.R. Tolkien, George R. R. Martin, and Neil Gaiman.” -- Library Journal
