My name is Magnus Chase. These days, I'm one of Odin's immortal warriors, but that doesn't stop people trying to kill me all the time. Loki the trickster god is free from his chains.

To stand any chance, I must find a magical elixir so deadly that it will either make me powerful enough to defeat Loki and put him back in chains for good ... or destroy me entirely.
