Synopsis
Welcome back to Asgard.
The fight between the gods and the giants intensifies, and time and again Tjalfe and Røskva are thrown into new wild adventures – not least because the gods are constantly throwing themselves into crazy challenges. Like when Thor sets out to catch the Midgard Serpent, or when Odin bets his own head in a bet.
At the same time, Røskva's psychic ability takes over, but what do the strange things she sees mean? And who is it that is stealing food from the house of the thunder god?
The book is provided with beautiful illustrations by Valhalla artist Peter Madsen and the following albums are integrated into the plot:
- "The Serpent in the Abyss"
- "The Golden Apples"
- "The Big Challenge"
