Bookroo's summary

Magnus Chase faces a dire challenge: Thor's hammer is missing, and it's fallen into enemy hands. Without it, the mortal worlds are vulnerable to giant attacks, threatening to ignite Ragnarok. To retrieve the hammer, Magnus must negotiate with Loki, the gods' most treacherous foe, who demands a steep price. As time runs out, Magnus and his diverse group of friends must navigate treacherous alliances and looming threats. Will they succeed in averting disaster, or will the Nine Worlds burn? Dive into this thrilling Norse adventure where the stakes are as high as the gods themselves.

From the publisher

Thor’s hammer is missing again. The thunder god has a disturbing habit of misplacing his weapon–the mightiest force in the Nine Worlds. But this time the hammer isn’t just lost, it has fallen into enemy hands. If Magnus Chase and his friends can’t retrieve the hammer quickly, the mortal worlds will be defenseless against an onslaught of giants. Ragnarok will begin. The Nine Worlds will burn. Unfortunately, the only person who can broker a deal for the hammer’s return is the gods’ worst enemy, Loki–and the price he wants is very high.
