The thrilling, wintry Nordic tale by Neil Gaiman, who weaves a magical
story of legend and adventure that will enchant readers from beginning
to end.
Odd, a young Viking boy, is left fatherless following a raid. In his
icy, ancient world there is no mercy for an unlucky soul with a crushed
foot and no one to protect him. Fleeing to the woods, Odd stumbles upon
and releases a trapped bear...and then Odd's destiny begins to change.
The eagle, bear, and fox Odd encounters are Norse gods, trapped in
animal form by the evil frost giant who has conquered Asgard, the city
of the gods. Now our hero must reclaim Thor's hammer, outwit the frost
giants and release the gods...
