The second book in a YA fantasy series merging high school paranormal romance with Norse mythology, from Tik-Tok sensation Emma Noyes

Charlie Hudson now knows the truth: her twin sister is a Valkyrie, and they're both daughters of Loki, the trickster god. After saving her best friend from Elias and Loki's clutches, Charlie is summoned to appear before the god of gods, Odin, who tasks her with a mission. The Seal that protects humanity from Asgard's magic is starting to break down, and only a human can stop it. To do so, Charlie must convince her old enemy , Elias, to bring her to the underworld. As she and Elias journey to the land of the undead, undeniable attraction burns between them once again. And when they arrive, Charlie finds that Loki is not who she thought he was-and that she may be on the wrong side of this war.

Praise for Heart of Mischief

The story is vibrant, the pacing sharp; plus, the supporting cast shines, making this a perfect fit for fans of morally gray love interests, dark mythology, and found-family storytelling. The themes of family, forgiveness, and anxiety are woven with care, grounding the magic in emotional truth. Full of heart and tension-filled scenes, this beautifully written sequel emphasizes that, even in chaos, love and redemption burn brightest of all.

Booklist

Oh cool… I’m in love with a fictional subhuman bad boy again. This shimmering romantasy is twisty, addictive, and whimsically wicked. Emma Noyes renders worlds in colors I’ve never seen before, and Soul of Shadow gave me butterflies that bite

Daisy Garrison, author of Six More Months of June

Soul of Shadow swept me away?I didn’t want to put it down. Noyes’ heartfelt characters and the absolutely sizzling romance make this a stunning romantasy that you won’t want to miss.
