Synopsis

This book tells the story of Baldur, the Norse god of light, love, and perfection, as told in the Prose Edda. Baldur's impending death triggers great distress among the gods, who seek to save him by demanding an oath from all things in existence that they will not harm him. The mistletoe, however, is exempted by his mother, Frigga, who deems it too insignificant to pose a threat. Unbeknownst to the gods, Loki, the trickster, exploits this oversight and fashions an arrow from the mistletoe, which is used to kill Baldur. The author delves into the profound themes of love, sacrifice, and the fragility of existence, exploring the Norse mythology's rich tapestry and its enduring relevance to the human condition. Through the tale of Baldur, the book invites readers to reflect on the nature of loss, the power of love, and the ultimate triumph of light over darkness.
