The Hammer of Thor

In the second thrilling installment of Rick Riordan's Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series, the celestial stakes are higher than ever. Thor's legendary hammer, Mjolnir, is once again missing, but this time its disappearance heralds a catastrophic threat: its wielder is a powerful enemy planning to use it to unleash Ragnarok. Magnus Chase, a demigod and son of Frey, along with his loyal, diverse, and often hilarious companions – Samirah al-Abbas (a Valkyrie), Blitzen (a dwarf), and Hearthstone (an elf) – must embark on a perilous quest across the Nine Worlds to retrieve the weapon. Their journey forces them into an uneasy and dangerous alliance with the gods' trickster nemesis, Loki, who holds vital clues but demands an exorbitant price. With giants amassing and the mortal realms teetering on the brink of war, Magnus and his friends must outwit ancient foes, confront their own destinies, and race against time to prevent the impending doom, all while navigating the eccentricities and epic battles of Norse mythology.
