Description
Collected in one volume for the first time, these thrilling, fast-paced contemporary novels inspired by Norse mythology will set pulses racing-and keep pages turning!
In Draugr, three kids arrive in Manitoba from the U.S. to spend the summer with their grandpa, famous for his old Icelandic stories. But they are anything but prepared when signs of a draugr-a man who comes back from the dead-appear in real life.
The Haunting of Drang Island follows Michael and his father to a desolate island, the perfect place for Dad to finish the last chapters of his book of Norse stories. Before long, though, there is evidence that the rumours they've heard about Drang Island-and about spirits, strange sacrifices and a serpent lurking in the ocean-might not be so far-fetched after all.
In Loki Wolf, Angie believes her dreams about being devoured by a giant wolf are only her imagination-until she hears scratching outside her window and learns that sheep have been disappearing from her uncle's farm in Iceland. But it isn't until she and her cousins go to the old croft house that they discover the horrifying truth.
