Inheritance is an audiobook about secrets - secrets within families, kept out of shame or self-protectiveness; secrets we keep from one another in the name of love.

They're very smart. They also look like giant mosquitos. But that's not why it's so hard to live here. The Zhuri don't like us.

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.

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.

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.
