Description

Fifteen-year-old Samuel has just moved with his parents to Yellowstone's Geyser Inn. He has no friends, his on-line classes are too easy, and the TV has only one channel. Life basically stinks until one snowbound day when he decides to explore the attic. There, he finds a mysterious brooch and encounters two ravens named Rag and Thokk. The brooch, a ring pin engraved with runic symbols, allows Samuel to communicate with the ravens and serves as a portal to the ancient Norse world. Soon, the trio find themselves in a magical realm, caught in a battle among powerful Norse gods such as Thor, Aegir, and Loki. As they navigate this perilous world, Samuel is tasked with finding Thor's magical hammer, Mjollnir, and faces a challenge that will determine the fate of the gods themselves. However, the ring pin that brought them there can't—or won't—bring them back, leaving Samuel and his new companions to figure out their own way home.
