Book Two: Arthur Quinn and the Fenris Wolf In the midst of a deep snowfall, Loki returns to get his vengeance on Arthur. In the months since they previously met, the Trickster God has been assembling a deadly army of wolves and he intends to take the world once and for all. Many traps await Arthur on the way. Who or what is Fenrir? Who is the new girl in the class and why is she so interested in Arthur? What does Loki want that's in the National Museum? And how can Arthur and Ash explain their new Viking friend to Stace? Book Three: Arthur Quinn and Hell's Keeper Following directly on from Book Two, Arthur and his friends realise that they have to find the wolf Fenrir before Loki does. He's the only one that knows the whereabouts of Hell's Keeper. In legends she is known as Hell's Keeper but in reality, she is the Trickster God's final child, his only daughter and the most dangerous and powerful of all three. When Arthur does discover her, he also finds a world changed; a flooded Ireland where he was never born. Aided by a ragtag band of rebels, Arthur must fulfill the Norns' prophesy. Only he - and he alone - can stop Loki this last time.
An exciting adventure story set in Dublin, where Viking mythology comes to life. Can Arthur stop the trickster Viking god Loki and the World Serpent from destroying the world?Something wicked has awoken under the streets of Dublin ... When his dad is offered a job working on the new Metro tunnel, Arthur has to move to Dublin with him. While exploring a hidden underground river, Arthur and his new friends Will and Ash find a mysterious glowing pendant. The pendant depicts a giant snake strangling the trunk of a tree. The friends soon figure out that the pendant is a warning, a sign that something evil is waiting underneath the city. Something that's been imprisoned for a thousand years, something left by the Vikings, something that can - and will - destroy first the city, then the world. What did the Vikings bury under the city of Dublin and why did they leave it there? Who is the dark man that spies on Arthur and what is his evil plan? In the end, only Arthur and his friends can save the world from the dreaded World Serpent.
