Thor has lost his hammer again, but this time someone stole it. The thunder god's weapon represents the strongest power across the Nine Worlds, and now it sits in enemy hands. Magnus Chase and his companions face a desperate race against time. Without the hammer's protection, the mortal realms cannot withstand the coming giant invasion. Ragnarok approaches. The Nine Worlds face destruction by fire. Only one being can negotiate the weapon's return: Loki, the gods' greatest enemy. The trickster god demands an enormous payment for his help. Magnus must decide whether to trust Loki and pay his steep price, or watch everything burn. The fate of multiple worlds rests on retrieving one weapon from those who would use it to end everything.
