The Disenchantment of Sela Ravn

Completed Manuscript

Paige le Mont

In modern-day Colorado, Sela Ravn is a Norse goddess who leads a full-blown human existence complete with a crumbling marriage and stalled career. She guards the secret of her divine nature to protect her beloved eighteen-year-old twins, the only children she’s ever had. Aksel, her lover from the 1940s who is very much alive and barely aged, blindsides her when he shows up on her doorstep and insists that she return to Asgard, a Norse realm only she can reach, to prevent Ragnorak, the catastrophic war to end all worlds. Including Earth. But when Loki, a Norse god of questionable repute, complicates the situation with a warning and an alternative solution, she must decide who to trust; Aksel or Loki, the enigmatic trickster god. Sela faces an inconceivable decision; go to Asgard and never see her children again or remain with them until the end of the worlds.

Woven with mythology and history, THE DISENCHANTMENT OF SELA RAVN (95,700 words/general fiction) follows an immortal woman’s journey to self-acceptance, belonging and love along the lines of A Witch in Time by Constance Sayers, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab and The God of Endings by Jacqueline Holland.
