Synopses

Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer

Magnus Chase is orphaned and living on the streets of Boston when he is warned that people are after him. Reunited with his uncle, he learns that his long-lost father is a Norse god and that the gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Magnus is told that if he cannot find a sword lost two thousand years ago, doom will follow.

Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor

Thor’s hammer has gone missing again, but this time it has fallen into enemy hands. Magnus Chase and his friends must retrieve it quickly or the mortal worlds will be left defenceless against an onslaught of giants, with Ragnarok set to begin. The only person who can broker a deal is Loki, and the price he demands is high.

Hotel Valhalla Guide to the Norse Worlds

It offers short entries on deities, mythical beings and creatures from the nine Norse worlds, alongside bonus content including interviews, newspaper articles, short stories and more.
