From the Publisher
“When they were young, the Sea Serpent, Hel and the wolf Fenrir lived together in Utgard. Their father was Loki. The gods had been told that Loki’s children would bring misfortunes to the world. Odin sent some of the gods to Utgard to bring the children to him. When he saw them, he realized that he had to get rid of them at once.” From Volume 2.
“Thor was the strongest of Odin’s sons and strongest of all gods and Vikings. Being the god of thunder, he crushed giants and trolls with his hammer. That’s why he also was called Thor with the hammer.” From Volume 1.
“Princess Gyda was very pretty, bold and rather proud. King Harald Fairhair was mesmerized by her beauty. He sent his men to ask her to be his wife. To the men’s surprise, Gyda was neither flattered nor particularly interested. The men were shocked and asked why she wouldn’t accept the offer from the king.” From Volume 1.
