Publisher's Synopsis
The Norse Gods are dead, well, most of them. That's what rebellious Maine teenager, Ellie LeBlanc, discovered during the summer before 9th grade. Little did she know that skipping a boring summer camp would propel her into an apocalyptic chain of events the Vikings called Ragnarok and that she would be a key player. As an intern on her uncle's archaeological team on the remote Icelandic Island of Grimsey, Ellie, along with her cousin Leif and friend Axel, stumble upon an ancient temple to the Norse Gods. The teens not only discover a lost treasure, but learn that they possess mysterious ties to Freya, the Goddess of Love and Magic, Thor, the God of Thunder, and the powerful Frost Giants of Jotunheim. Meanwhile, Loki, the Trickster God and a catalyst of chaos, has escaped after 900 years of imprisonment. Intent on rewriting the prophesy of Ragnarok, Loki soon realizes the teens possess the potential to foil his designs for the Nine Worlds. Dispatching his fanatical runecaster acolyte to stop Ellie and her friends, Loki will do whatever it takes to carry out his plans, even if that means killing millions. Assisted by two mysterious veterans of Ragnarok's early wars that raged a millennium ago, the teens must use their wits, master the secrets of their divine inheritance, and persevere through fear and tragedy to survive.
