The Story

The Loom of Fate has been stolen, throwing the nine Viking worlds into chaos.

When fourteen-year-old American Benjamin "Banjo" Northgate and his annoying schoolmate Desmond drop in on Mr. Swenson, an oddball museum curator, they find a ring that transports them to Viking-Age Iceland. Banjo must find the Loom of Fate and return order to a cosmos he doesn't know.

With the help of Frida, an Icelandic girl, Banjo and Desmond scour the worlds from Iceland to Asgard, confronting dragons, trolls, and even Hel, the goddess of death.

Swept up by a glory-seeking Viking named Ketil and his band of raiders, they travel to Utgard, kingdom of the giants, where Banjo confronts the most dangerous challenge of all: the chance to create the destiny of his own dreams.
