Synopsis for "The Secret Love"

In Asgard, Daillus storms a castle to see for himself if Lorelei is as beautiful as the legends say. For his trouble she turns him to stone. Amora arrives, and tells her a story of her time on Battleworld, where she had the chance to win the love of Thor, but she failed because she was too afraid.

Notes

• This issue is basically just a retelling of the events of the first few issues of Secret Wars from the Enchantress's point of view, with a framing story of Amora trying to educate her sister Lorelei in the fact that love shouldn't be wasted.
