奇幻小說大師雷克.萊爾頓,《阿斯嘉末日 3:死者之船》磅礡啟航!
這次,馬格努斯能適時阻止洛基的邪惡計畫嗎?
擅長魔法與變形的天神洛基從枷鎖掙脫出來,現在,他準備好一艘死神之船——用死人指甲製作的大船「納吉爾法」(Naglfar),上面載滿了一大批巨人與殭屍,準備與神界進行最後一場戰役。
馬格努斯和他的朋友必須想辦法阻撓洛基的計畫,要想成功,他們必須在納吉爾法於仲夏日啟航前,航行穿越人類居住地「米德加爾特」、巨人居住地「約頓海姆」以及霧之國「尼福爾海姆」,先找到納吉爾法。
一路上,他們必須面對憤怒的海神、巨人以及邪惡的噴火龍,但馬格努斯最強大的敵人不是別人,而是他自己。想打敗洛基,馬格努斯不能只靠武力,他必須得到一個神奇的藥劑,但這個藥劑卻有可能讓馬格努斯陷入萬劫不復的地獄……(文/博客來編譯)
Magnus Chase, a once-homeless teen, is a resident of the Hotel Valhalla and one of Odin's chosen warriors. As the son of Frey, the god of summer, fertility, and health, Magnus isn't naturally inclined to fighting. But he has strong and steadfast friends, including Hearthstone the elf, Blitzen the dwarf, and Samirah the Valkyrie, and together they have achieved brave deeds, such as defeating Fenris Wolf and battling giants for Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. Now Magnus faces his most dangerous trial yet. His cousin, Annabeth, recruits her boyfriend, Percy Jackson, to give Magnus some pointers, but will his training be enough? Loki is free from his chains. He's readying Naglfar, the Ship of the Dead, complete with a host of giants and zombies, to sail against the Asgardian gods and begin the final battle of Ragnarok. It's up to Magnus and his friends to stop him, but to do so they will have to sail across the oceans of Midgard, Jotunheim, and Niflheim in a desperate race to reach Naglfar before it's ready to sail. Along the way, they will face angry sea gods, hostile giants, and an evil fire-breathing dragon. Magnus's biggest challenge will be facing his own inner demons. Does he have what it takes to outwit the wily trickster god?
