You are invited to a wedding! There’s a ruthless Giantess outside who wants to kill us all. Loki’s going to do something disgusting with a goat. But it’s all in aid of the most unlikely marriage the world will ever see – Ruthless Skadi, daughter of murdered Thiazi, will wed Njord, the peaceful God of the Sea.
You might think that this curious union is unlikely to lead to happiness ever after, but it would be rude to say anything, the buffet is free and, come bloodshed or bliss, we’ll be watching from ringside seats.
Can the Mountains Love the Sea? is an adaptation of The Marriage of Njord and Skadi, a Norse myth brimful of anger, magic and adult-humour. This is no happy-ever-after story, this is a tale that gets to the beating heart of an ancient myth and finds truths that ring through the ages.
