To promote the book, there was a small commercial where a group of vikings argued over the correct way to pronounce "falafel", and whether or not it had any nutrition. One viking finally ends the conversation by stating that a great warrior named Magnus loved the food and ate it often, before holding up the book. [3]

Magnus Chase, a once-homeless teen, is a resident of the Hotel Valhalla and one of Odin's chosen warriors. As the son of Frey, the god of summer, fertility, and health, Magnus isn't naturally inclined to fight. But he has strong and steadfast friends, including Hearthstone the elf, Blitzen the dwarf, and Samirah the Valkyrie, and together they have achieved brave deeds, such as defeating Fenris Wolf and battling powerful giants for Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. Now Magnus and his crew must sail to the farthest borders of Jotunheim and Niflheim in pursuit of Asgard's greatest threat. Will they succeed in their perilous journey, or is are the forces of Ragnark going to win?
Percy Jackson gives Magnus Chase a lesson in surviving on the ocean. Magnus introduces Jack to Percy and Annabeth Chase, who are surprised the sword can talk. Jack sniffs around Percy's pocket and finds Riptide, who he reveals is female. Jack proceeds to flirt with Riptide. Annabeth, Percy, Magnus and Alex Fierro have lunch, while Alex tells them they should have already left to find Loki's ship located between Niflheim and Jotunheim. Percy gives Magnus a piece of advice that sea gods are vain and possessive when it comes to their weapons, and also tells him he has a good team.
Alex and Magnus go to Randolph's mansion, where they find a dead wolf at the entrance. Another wolf is seen looking for a book but is killed by Alex. Magnus finds some notes scribbled by Randolph, the older notes on the Sword of Summer. Alex feels that the newer notes mean that Randolph made a possible plan to stop Loki.
When Magnus and his crew talk to each other, they are overheard talking about mead by the Nine Billow Maidens and brought to their court. Their father, Aegir, grants them guest rights and tells them they are safe as long as they don't have anyone named Magnus Chase among them. The crew is surprised to find Blitzen and Hearth as the main course. They manage to free them with excuses of Halaal and vegetarianism. Ran's eldest daughter figures out that the "blonde guy" is Magnus Chase and shouts this. Magnus tells Aegir that he himself will defeat Loki in a flyting contest and Aegir's revenge will be complete. Not wanting to offend his wife Ran, Aegir agrees to let them go if they win a fight against his daughters. The crew manages to escape with help from Magnus's grandfather Njord.
While Magnus and the crew relax on board, Njord brags about his feet and how he won Skadi the ice giantess. They also talk about their upcoming quest. Njord explains that to get to the Ship of the Dead, they must pass Niflheim and Jotunheim, and have a very small chance of surviving even though they could seek help by Skadi along the way. He also explains that in order to win the flyting against Loki, Magnus must get Kvasir's Mead, the most valuable elixir protected by the giants. It was created from all of the Norse gods' spit, and out came Kvasir. But in order to kill the giants secretly guarding the mead, Blitz and Hearth are supposed to get Bolverk's whetstone. After much arguing, Magnus reluctantly lets Blitz and Hearth go on their duo quest.
Once Blitz and Hearth are whisked away onto their quest, Njord tells Magnus that his crew must travel to Jorvik and challenge the giant Hrungnir to battle. If they win, which is a slim chance, they will ask for the location of the mead, travel to the Ship of the Dead, and defeat Loki in the flyting and restore him to his bonds. On that note, Njord leaves.
As the crew head to Jorvik, Mallory and Halfborn are disgruntled because of where they died: Mallory died in Ireland, and Halfborn died near Jorvik. TJ also had some bad experience: Since he was a son of Tyr, then he always could not resist one-on-one battles, even if it was a hopeless one, and that was why T.J. died in the first place. He told Magnus that even he had a one on one challenge to face himself and he should prepare for: the flyting with Loki.
Magnus, Alex, T.J. and Pottery Barn arrive at King's Square, as Hrungnir had told them to meet him in Konungsgurtha, meaning king's court. Alex suggested trying King's Square. Hrungir was spotted camouflaging into the walls of a shop. Mokkerkalfe, meaning Mist Calf, Hrungnir's clay warrior, stepped in to start fighting Pottery Barn, a disproportionate figure with arms too thin and legs too thick. Hrungnir introduces Mokkerkalfe to the einherjar. Alex then introduces Pottery Barn, and Hrungnir admits that it is a poetic name for a warrior. Meanwhile, T.J. starts loading his rifle, while talking and walking. Magnus is amazed at this, thinking it would've been like trying to tie his shoes and whistle "The Star-Spangled Banner" while jogging. T.J.'s first shot was to the giant's left eye. His second shot sparked off the giant's nose. Meanwhile, Pottery Barn slams their vase-fists into Mokkerkalfe's back, which, unfortunately, sank into Mokkerkalfe's gooey flesh. Mokkerkalfe tried to face P.B., but instead yanked them off their feet and dragged them around. Alex then steps in with her garrote and lassos P.B.'s legs and yanks them free. Pottery Barn went flying across the square and smashed through the window of a store. Mokkerkalfe then thinks that Alex is an enemy, and launches itself on top of Alex, drowning her in its wet clay. Magnus screams, but then his attention goes over to T.J. as he screamed in agony, stuck in Hrungnir's closed fist. Pottery Barn saved the day by themselves onto Hrungnir, who then dropped T.J. Magnus orders Jack to defend Alex without actually fighting, and heals T.J. and gets a glimpse of his memory: T.J's mother warning him of the dangers of play-shooting with a stick at a white man and how the white man can shoot you. Another memory; Teenager T.J. staring at a flyer encouraging military service. The image changed to a ship, where his friend complains how the Union put them on a ship, but T.J. was as eager as ever, holding his rifle. Magnus then saw him running across no-man's-land, charging at his nemesis, Jeffrey Toussaint.
Magnus is back to the present, and the fighting continues. T.J. shoots Hrungnir's right eye, while Pottery Barn hung broken from a tree. T.J. then screams at Magnus to help Alex. Magnus heals Alex, even though she doesn't like being healed. Alex's memory: the time when Magnus had breakfast at hotel Valhalla, from Alex's point of view. Magnus was across Alex, looking "utterly dorky." Magnus wondered why this was on top of Alex's memories. Alex opened her eyes and swatted Magnus away. Pottery Barn, out of nowhere, jumps on top of Mokkerkalfe and pulls out his heart, and both warriors collapse. Meanwhile, T.J. cuts off Hrungnir's sinews. The einherji demands the location of Kvasir's mead, and is told that it was in Flm, Norway, and that he must take the train. Hrungnir challenges T.J. to kill him, right in the heart. Just as T.J. does so, Jack warns the guys not to pierce Hrungnir's heart, for stone giants' hearts explode. Alex warns them all to hit the deck, and the giant explodes. T.J. groaned, as a piece of shrapnel embedded itself above his right eye. He assures them all that he can walk, and all three of them head back to the ship.
When they return, they find Halfborn, Mallory, and Sam exhausted because they just finished fighting water horses. Halfborn jokingly lights T.J.'s shrapnel with a match. The Big Banana then leaves for Flm to find Kvasir's Mead. Down below, Magnus learns that the car bomb Mallory tried to disable when she died was set by herself. She was goaded by her mates in Ireland, one of them being Loki, into doing it. Then an old lady, whom Mallory says was also Loki, gave the indestructible knives she has and told her to correct her mistake. Suddenly, Blitz and Hearth, who lost his scarf, appear again. Blitz says that Hearth is going to have to face his father one last time.
Magnus (wearing pink sunglasses Alex gave him), Blitz and Hearth fall into Alfheim. There they find the gates to Alderman's mansion have boarded by the police while the mansion itself is now in ruins. They follow the smell of dead frogs to find Hearth's father. They reach a cave in the woods to find that, due to Andvari's ring, Alderman is now a hideous dragon, the same beast that appeared in Magnus' dream.
During a picnic, the three devise a plan on how to kill him. Ring dragons can only be killed when stabbed in the stomach, which is why they always crawl. Hearthstone reveals that Nisser used to live in the woods until Alderman called the exterminator. Therefore, Magnus decides to use their tunnels and use Jack to stab the dragon. But when stabbed, his blood came out gushing and would kill Magnus almost instantly if he touched it; he has to escape very quickly.
While Magnus is in the tunnel, Hearth uses his magic to bring back his deceased brother, Andiron, to lure out Alderman. The father is initially surprised but when he sees that Hearth is doing this, he immediately thinks it's fake. That's when Blitzen gets mad and berates Alderman for being such a horrible father and only thinking about gold. Magnus manages to stab the dragon's heart and quickly escapes. Alderman calls Hearth a traitor and tell him to use his writing board instead of sign language before dying. Before vanishing, Andiron reveals that he wished he was kind and good as his brother in that well; he always accepted and loved him.
In Alderman's cave, Magnus and Blitz find the magic bag they got from Andvari is still there, they use it suck up all the gold and find the Whetstone of Bolverk. They will need it to sharpen some blades later. Jack reveals that after someone kills a ring dragon, they must roast its heart and eat it. Magnus and Blitz return the gold to the river Andvari was in while fighting its temptation to keep it, they couldn't decide whether Magnus or Hearth should eat the heart. Suddenly it goes right into the campfire, Magnus burned his hands trying to save it from disintegrating, then he sucked on his fingers and tasted some of Alderman's blood. This gave him the ability to understand birds, Hearth doesn't mind what happened because now his father can rest, then they leave. Back on the Big Banana, the three land right on Halfborn Gunderson. After telling the story to everyone, Alex Fierro gives Hearthstone a new pink and green scarf. Mallory Keen takes the whetstone to hold onto so no one gets hurt. 152ee80cbc
