Become a Warrior of Thunder in the legendary Valhalla from debut author Gabriella Dennany.

On the night of his high school graduation, nineteen-year-old Milo Bohr expected a night out on the town, flashing fake IDs and ending up somewhere he couldn't remember. The last thing he expected to happen was his best friend transforming into a horned, blue-skinned giant, screaming about Warriors of Thunder and someone called Odin. When the night comes to a screeching halt, with Milo waking up in a never-ending tower, its Viking-like inhabitants call Valhalla, he realizes death came sooner than he thought.

A civil war rages across worlds, where a golden kingdom sits between mountains. The One-Eyed King Odin has fallen, and his son, the heir to the throne, is missing. Astrid, a belligerent warrior once a Royal Guard member, sits in chains within the city's underground prison. As her fate takes an unexpected turn, Astrid escapes the war-torn realm with a terrifying mission: find the missing prince and restore Asgard to glory.

Three undead teens, brought together through death and the mysterious title "Warriors of Thunder," find themselves under the power of a prophecy, with only the guidance of the reluctant Astrid to lead them through the world's Nine Realms.

Full of humor, heartbreak, and larger-than-life battles, The Halls of Valhalla is a gripping tale of identity, courage, and the pursuit of hope in a world on the brink of chaos. Will Milo and Astrid rise to the occasion—or will they become casualties in the ultimate fight?

Enter the halls of the gods, but beware—the fate of the Nine Realms depends on you.
