Loki the trickster god is free from his chains. Now he's readying Naglfar, the Ship of the Dead, armed with a host of giants and zombies, to sail against the Norse gods and begin the final battle of Ragnarok. It's up to Magnus Chase and his friends to stop Loki's plans, but to do so they will have to sail across the oceans of Midgard, Jotunheim and Niflheim in a desperate race to reach Naglfarbefore it's ready to sail on Midsummer's Day. Along the way, they will face angry sea gods, hostile giants, and an evil fire-breathing dragon who happens to be a former acquaintance. But Magnus's biggest challenge will be facing his own inner demons. To defeat Loki, Magnus will need to use words, not force. This will require finding a magical elixir so deadly that it will either make Magnus Chase powerful enough to out-talk the silver-tongued Loki, or destroy Magnus utterly.

Nadat hij zijn vader Zeus boos heeft gemaakt, wordt de god Apollo uit Olympus verbannen. Hij belandt als tiener in New York, zonder zijn goddelijke krachten. Daar moet de 4000 jaar oude godheid zien te overleven in de moderne wereld totdat hij een manier weet te vinden om weer in de gunst te komen bij Zeus.

Apollo heeft vrienden nodig om te overleven in de sterfelijke wereld en, hopelijk, op een dag zijn goddelijke krachten terug te krijgen. Wie anders dan de halfgoden van Kamp Halfbloed zouden hem kunnen helpen bij die missie?

When I meet Otis, an informant with a lead on Thor's missing hammer, all I get is the name 'Provincetown' before a wolf-masked assassin takes him out and warns me to stay away. Someone really doesn't want me to find the hammer, and even if I could it's rumoured to be underground, guarded by powerful magic. But the giant armies are on the move, preparing to invade. If I don't find it, they'll ravage the Nine Worlds, starting with the streets of Boston. There's just one person who could help. Someone who demands a very high price- the gods' worst enemy, Loki."
