He allies himself with his Aunt Freyand, the most powerful of the Asgardian goddesses and Asgard's last queen. She can render flesh to dust by simply forming a fist. She has another power, too, that muddles Ask's mind, subjecting him to her influence. Her intentions, Ask will discover, are not noble.
