The Apple Throne

**THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE WHOLE WORLD WHO REMEMBERS THE FAMOUS PROPHET ASTRID GLYN: THE BERSERKER SOREN BEARSTAR.** Ever since Astrid agreed to give up her life, her name, and her prophetic dreams to become Idun the Young, who protects the apples of immortality in a secret mountain orchard, she's been forgotten by everyone. Everyone except Soren. For the last two years he's faithfully visited her every three months. Then one day he doesn't come. Though forbidden to leave the orchard, Astrid defies the gods to find Soren. But ancient creatures are moving beneath the country. Astrid's quest might be the key they need to leave the shadows behind forever. Not-quite-a-goddess, but no longer only a girl, Astrid finds herself in a situation where fate--and not just her own--lies in the balance. Is there a way to save herself and those she loves, or will this choice unravel the ancient magic holding the nine worlds together? This description comes from the publisher. *The Apple Throne* is the third book in the United States of Asgard, the first of which is *The Lost Sun*.
