Vår stolta, egocentrerade och självömkande hjälte är tillbaka! Guden Apollon, numera bättre känd som den 16-årige dödlige medelmåttan Lester, har precis överlevt den skyddade vistelsen i halvblodslägret. Men han börjar tröttna på att ha acne, ett blodomlopp och en pytteliten hjärna som vanliga dödliga har, och tvingas därför ge sig av över Nordamerika för att finna de orakel som kan hjälpa honom tillbaka till Olympen. Och finns det något ställe som är bättre att börja leta på än Indianapolis? Attans otur att staden just för stunden tagits över av en ond romersk kejsare som gillar att tortera undersåtar, djur och f.d. gudar. Det är inte lätt att slåss mot odödliga onda kejsare (som dessutom har strids-strutsar!) när du själv saknar minsta tendens till övermäktig styrka. Men tillsammans med Leo Valdez, Kalypso och en drake i brons, verkar det ändå finnas en chans att lyckas! Om Apollon bara lyckas svälja sitt eget ego... Han står nu inför sitt fyratusenåriga livs svåraste uppdrag: Att leva som en dödlig, eller dö som en gud-wannabe.

Bästsäljande Rick Riordan, som i tio år toppat listorna med bokserierna och Hollywoodfilmerna om Percy Jackson och Olympens hjältar, är tillbaka – och den här gången tar han sig äntligen an de nordiska asagudarna. Välkommen till ett asaspännande äventyr! Magnus, Samirah, Alex och hjältarna från Hotell Valhalls 19:e våning förbereder sig för att segla mot ett äventyr till havs, och får en snabb hands-on kurs av Percy Jackson på ämnet ”hur du inte dör på havet”. Och det kommer garanterat att behövas. Loke är nämligen fri från sina bojor. Och det första han tänker göra med sin frihet är såklart att starta Ragnarök och världens undergång genom att sätta segel med skeppet Naglfar. En skuta av högsta hantverksstandard byggd av 100% prima återvunna naglar från döda människor. Men Loke är inte det enda problemet. Det dröjer inte länge innan Magnus och de andra blir erbjudna att äta upp sina gamla vänner dvärgen Blitzen och alven Hearthstone. Vilket flyt att varken dvärg eller alv är halal! Och att Magnus är to-be-vegetarian…Följ säkerhetsinstruktionerna och ta på flytvästarna, för det blir ett blött, bestialiskt och ”borde-stannat-hemma”-besvärligt äventyr!

The god Apollo, cast down to earth and trapped in the form of a gawky teenage boy as punishment, must set off on the second of his harrowing (and hilarious) trials. He and his companions seek the ancient oracles - restoring them is the only way for Apollo to reclaim his place on Mount Olympus - but this is easier said than done. Somewhere in the American Midwest is a haunted cave that may hold answers for Apollo in his quest to become a god again . . . if it doesn't kill him or drive him insane first. Standing in Apollo's way is the second member of the evil Triumvirate - a Roman emperor whose love of bloodshed and spectacle makes even Nero look tame. To survive the encounter, Apollo will need the help of a now-mortal goddess, a bronze dragon, and some familiar demigod faces from Camp Half-Blood. With them by his side, can Apollo face down the greatest challenge of his four thousand years of existence?

In order to regain his place on Mount Olympus, Lester must restore five Oracles that have gone dark. But he has to achieve this impossible task without having any godly powers and while being duty-bound to a confounding young daughter of Demeter named Meg. Thanks a lot, Dad. With the help of some demigod friends, Lester managed to survive his first two trials, one at Camp Half-Blood, and one in Indianapolis, where Meg received the Dark Prophecy. The words she uttered while seated on the Throne of Memory revealed that an evil triumvirate of Roman emperors plans to attack Camp Jupiter. While Leo flies ahead on Festus to warn the Roman camp, Lester and Meg must go through the Labyrinth to find the third emperor--and an Oracle who speaks in word puzzles--somewhere in the American Southwest. There is one glimmer of hope in the gloom-filled prophecy: The cloven guide alone the way does know. They will have a satyr companion, and Meg knows just who to call upon. . . .

Denne gang er Magnus og hans venner nødt til at sejle til det fjerneste hjørne af Jotunheim og Niflheim i jagten på Asgårds største trussel. Vil de lykkes med deres mission, eller vil de blive opslugt af Ragnarok? 3. og afsluttende bind i serien om Magnus Chase. Læs også de to første i serien: Kampen om sommersværdet (1) Thors hammer (2)
