Following the smash-hit Olympians series (over a million copies sold!), George O'Connor embarks on a new saga about the Norse gods. This fourth and final volume tells the story of the world-shattering event, Ragnarok! Gullinkambi, the golden-combed rooster, has crowed, which can only mean one thing—the final battle is upon us. Tremors ripple through the nine worlds, and the walls of Asgard shudder as Odin sees visions of razorlike teeth and a great tree consumed by flames. The Midgard Serpent rises from the depths, and in far-off Hel, a great ship sets sail to bring war to Odin and Asgard. Ragnarok, the end of the old world and the beginning of the new, has arrived...
In
Asgardians, George O’Connor provides the perfect companion to his
Olympians series, and his highly kinetic illustrations bring these gritty and astonishing tales of war, rivalry, and deception to vivid and startling life.
