After defeating the Volgrim witches, life in Orkney is quiet. Too quiet.
Before Sam Baron can catch his breath, an army of fire giants led by
Surt gather in the Eighth Realm of Musspell, determined to destroy
Orkney--and it's all Sam's fault. After all, he took Odin's life with an
ancient cursed dagger, and now, mankind has lost its protector. To make
matters worse, the God of Mischief, Loki, is on the loose and determined
to reunite with his evil wife, Angerboda, and their three children:
Fenrir the wolf, Jormungand the sea serpent, and Helva, Goddess of
Death. Orkney's only hope lies with Sam and his stalwart friends. As
Surt prepares to launch his forces against Orkney, Sam and two of his
fellow witches, Perrin and Mavery, set out on a journey to rescue Odin,
aided by Skidbladnir, a magical ship of the gods that can fly over land
and sea, and Geela, a Valkyrie who can transform into a battle-ready
goose. Meanwhile, Leo and Keely travel north to stop Loki from starting
a war between the Eifalians and the Vanir, while Howie is left to watch
over Skara Brae. With time running out, our heroes try frantically to
prove once again that they can find the courage to do what's needed when
the odds are stacked against them--even when the sacrifice asked is
greater than any of them could imagine.
