In Viking times, Norse myths predicted the end of the world, an event called Ragnarök that only the gods can stop. When this apocalypse happens, the gods must battle the monsters - wolves the size of the sun, serpents that span the seabeds - all bent on destroying the world. But the gods died a long time ago. Matt Thorsen knows every Norse myth, saga, and god as if it was family history - because it is family history. Most people in the modern-day town of Blackwell, in fact, are direct descendants of either Thor or Loki, including Matt's classmates Fen and Laurie Brekke. But knowing the legends and completely believing them are two different things. When the rune readers reveal that Ragnarök is coming and kids - led by Matt - must stand in for the gods in the final battle, Matt can hardly believe it. Matt's, Laurie's, and Fen's lives will never be the same as they race to put together an unstoppable team to stop the end of the world.

Loki's Wolves

Melissa Marr

Odin's Ravens

A gripping new thriller by the author of the instant bestseller Wherever She Goes. Sometimes there's no use running from your past. . . . Genevieve has secrets that no one knows. In Rome she can be whoever she wants to be. Her neighbours aren't nosy; her Italian is passable; the shopkeepers and restaurant owners now see her as a local, and they let her be. It's exactly what she wants. One morning, after getting groceries, she returns to her 500-year-old Trastevere apartment. She climbs to the very top of the staircase, the stairs narrowing the higher she goes. When she gets to her door, she puts down her bags and pushes the key into the lock . . . . . . and the door swings open. It's unlocked. Sometimes she doesn't lock it because break-ins aren't common in Rome. But Genevieve knows she locked the door behind her this morning. She has no doubt. She should leave, call the police. What if someone is in her apartment, waiting for her? But she doesn't. The apartment is empty, and exactly as she left it, perfectly tidy and not a thing out of place . . . except for the small box on her kitchen table. A box that definitely wasn't there this morning. A box postmarked from the US. A box that is addressed to "Lucy Callahan." A name that she hasn't used in ten years. Edge-of-your-seat riveting, K.L. Armstrong's new book will keep you turning the pages until the very end.

Thor's Serpents

A pulse-pounding new thriller from the bestselling author of Wherever She Goes and Every Step She Takes. If someone was threatening your home, how far would you go to protect it? Celeste Turner has a woman living in her shed. A woman who is definitely not supposed to be there. The local police, however, are ill-inclined to help. Celeste is a newcomer to a region of rural Florida. It doesn't matter that her family is originally from the area or that she returned to nurse her dying grandmother. All the locals see is a city girl who swooped in to secure her inheritance . . . a rundown house in need of extensive repairs. Celeste needs her new life to work, and this woman is a threat to that. Then she meets her. To her surprise, she finds out that Daisy is polite and friendly; a backpacker who is just making her way through the area. Quickly, Celeste begins an unlikely and beneficial friendship with Daisy--she can't help herself and, besides, Daisy will be moving on to her next stop soon. Why not take advantage of the extra help? Both women have secrets they want to keep buried, and when a body is discovered in the glades near Celeste's house, they must move quickly to prove their innocence and protect the lives they've built for themselves.

Coleção Aventuras Extraordinárias Lobos de Loki é o primeiro volume da série Crônicas de Blackwell, assinada pela dupla K. L. Armstrong e M. A. Marr. Com carreiras consagradas na literatura fantástica – Armstrong é autora de Darkest Powers e Melissa Marr publicou, entre outras, a série Wicked Lovely – as duas juntam o que têm de melhor para criar uma obra impactante e frenética para o público juvenil, considerada "o Percy Jackson da mitologia nórdica". Para Matt Thorsen, o fato de ser um dos descendentes de Thor, o deus do Trovão, não fazia muita diferença. Junto com vários outros descendentes de Thor ou seu meio-irmão, Loki, o garoto levava uma vida normal em Blackwell, pequena cidade em Dakota do Sul. Matt conhece cada deus, história e detalhes dos mitos nórdicos. Mas conhecer cada lenda é um coisa, acreditar é outra completamente diferente. Quando as runas revelam que o Ragnarok, ou fim do mundo, está próximo, e que Matt deve lutar pelos deuses para evitar o fim do mundo, o garoto tem uma certa dificuldade em acreditar. Afinal, entre todos os Thorsen, Matt é o mais novo e até hoje nunca demonstrou o mesmo potencial dos seus irmãos mais velhos. Porém, seu avô parece acreditar que o garoto pode cumprir seu destino, e mais: depois da vitória, Matt deve ser sacrificado para o surgimento de uma nova era dominada pelos descendentes de Thor. Agora, Matt sabe que tem de encontrar os outros descendentes e se preparar para a batalha definitiva. Com a ajuda relutante dos primos Fen e Laurie, descendentes de Loki, o jovem parte em uma incrível aventura para salvar o mundo. Seguindo a linha de Rick Riordan e seu Percy Jackson, K. L. Armstrong e M. A. Marr trazem as incríveis lendas nórdicas para nosso tempo em uma aventura fantástica cheia de surpresas e com personagens cativantes. Um início arrasador para uma saga única.
