Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die. Along the way, they will face angry sea gods, hostile giants and an evil. Its up to Magnus Chase and his friends to stop Lokis plans. Now hes 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. But he doesn’t have time to consider it all before a fire giant attacks the city, forcing him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents. Loki the trickster god is free from his chains. Near the end there’s a teaser involving Percy Jackson and his girlfriend Annabeth, presumably pointing to the next book set in Riordan’s multi-mythological world. Stories about the gods of Asgard, wolves, and Doomsday bubble up from Magnus’s memory. The Ship of the Dead wraps up Magnus Chase’s initial story arc, though I’d expect that some of these characters will make an appearance again in later Riordan books. The more Randolph talks, the more puzzle pieces fall into place. Randolph starts rambling about Norse history and Magnus’s birthright: a weapon that has been lost for thousands years. When Magnus tries to outmaneuver his uncle, he falls right into his clutches. One day, Magnus learns that someone else is trying to track him down-his uncle Randolph, a man his mother had always warned him about. Ever since that terrible night two years ago when his mother told him to run, he has lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, staying one step ahead of the police and truant officers. Magnus Chase has seen his share of trouble.
