Tras huir de Asgard, humillado por los dioses, Loki ha tenido tres hijos monstruosos con la giganta Angrboda en Jötunheim: el gran lobo Fenrir, la serpiente Jörmungand y Hela, la criatura medio viva y medio muerta. Odín teme que los hijos de Loki lleven el germen del caos y amenacen el equilibrio en los nueve mundos y por ello decide epararlos de su padre y confinarlos para conjurar el peligro que suponen.

Tras la primera guerra del mundo, entre los ases y los vanes, las defensas de Asgard no han vuelto a levantarse. La morada de los dioses recibe a un nuevo huésped, el joven Loki, un vástago de los odiados gigantes a quien Odín, por razones que mantiene en secreto, apadrina y protege. Un misterioso constructor se ofrece a reconstruir las murallas del reino, pero exige a cambio un precio desorbitado: el sol, la luna, y la mano de la bella diosa Freya. Es el momento que esperaba Loki para ganarse la confianza de los dioses, pero sus planes se tuercen y pronto se verá obligado a emplear sus singulares poderes para evitar el desastre.

La hermosa Freya, enviada por Odín al mundo de los enanos, queda prendada de un majestuoso collar que estos, los mejores herreros de los nueve mundos, están elaborando. Se trata de una joya única que contiene el fulgor y la hermosura de las estrellas del firmamento. Deseosa de poseerlo a toda costa, despliega sus dotes de seducción para que los enanos se lo entreguen. Cuando lo averigua, Odín, que desea a la bella diosa desde antiguo, enloquece de celos y urde su venganza.

Loki ya no soporta más las humillaciones de los dioses de Asgard. Su dignidad herida y un profundo rencor lo llevan a abandonar el mundo de los dioses. Ni siquiera los ruegos de su esposa Sigyn logran detenerlo. Loki adopta entonces la apariencia de un lobo negro y emprende una frenética huida que lo conduce a Jötunheim. Allí, en la tierra de los gigantes, ingresará en una vida salvaje en el Bosque de Hierro, en compañía de Angrboda, "la portadora de desgracias". Loki encontrará en ella un alma pareja y de la relación entre ambos surgirá una cadena de temibles sucesos.

Un manto de desolación y tristeza cubre Asgard. Los dioses se marchitan sin remedio y la decrepitud carcome al mismísimo Odín. ¿Qué ha sucedido? Idunn, hija de los elfos y guardiana del bosque donde florecen las manzanas de la juventud, ha caído presa de Thiazi, un gigante abominable. Siempre caprichoso, el azar quiso que en el trágico rapto de Idunn estuviera presente Loki. Y esa presencia desencadenará una serie de acontecimientos donde este dios, atormentado por el indisimulado desdén que le profesan los demás dioses de Asgard, se verá zarandeado por un violento vendaval de emociones, pasiones y sentimientos encontrados.
