Life preservers are mandatory for this wet, wild, and wondrous
adventure, the third entry in Rick Riordan's New York Times #1
best-selling Norse mythology trilogy, which features a cameo from Percy
Jackson.
Magnus Chase, a once-homeless teen, is a resident of the Hotel Valhalla
and one of Odin's chosen warriors. As the son of Frey, the god of
summer, fertility, and health, Magnus isn't naturally inclined to
fighting. But he has strong and steadfast friends, including Hearthstone
the elf, Blitzen the dwarf, and Samirah the Valkyrie, and together they
have achieved brave deeds, such as defeating Fenris Wolf and battling
giants for Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. Now Magnus faces his most dangerous
trial yet. His cousin, Annabeth, recruits her boyfriend, Percy Jackson,
to give Magnus some pointers, but will his training be enough?
Loki is free from his chains. He's readying Naglfar, the Ship of the
Dead, complete with a host of giants and zombies, to sail against the
Asgardian gods and begin the final battle of Ragnarok. It's up to Magnus
and his friends to stop him, but to do so they will have to sail across
the oceans of Midgard, Jotunheim, and Niflheim in a desperate race to
reach Naglfar before it's ready to sail.
Along the way, they will face angry sea gods, hostile giants, and an
evil fire-breathing dragon. Magnus's biggest challenge will be facing
his own inner demons. Does he have what it takes to outwit the wily
trickster god?
