Thirteen-year-olds Matt, Laurie, and Fen have beaten near-impossible
odds to assemble their fellow descendants of the Norse Gods and complete
epic quests. Their biggest challenge lies ahead: battling the fierce
monsters working to bring about the apocalypse.
But when they
learn that Matt must fight the Midgard Serpent alone and Fen and Laurie
are pulled in other directions, the friends realize they can't take
every step of this journey together. Matt, Laurie, and Fen will each
have to fight their own battles to survive, to be true to themselves,
and to one another - with nothing less than the fate of the world
hanging in the balance.

Review
Praise for *Odin's Ravens:*
"This sequel stands by itself, as essential details of the first are neatly woven throughout. Intense action, well-crafted scenes and humor-laced dialogue add up to a sure winner...What Riordan has done for Greek and Egyptian mythology, Armstrong and Marr are doing for Norse myths...A Hel of a good read."
―*Kirkus Reviews*
Praise for Loki's Wolves:
"Norse mythology brought to life with engaging contemporary characters and future volumes that promise explosive action; ideal for Percy Jackson fans who want to branch out."
―*Kirkus Reviews*
"This rousing, fast-paced adventure, first in the Blackwell Pages trilogy, will please readers who loved John Stephens's Books of Beginning and Rick Riordan's modern-day twists on ancient myth."
―*Publishers Weekly*
"Loki's Wolves brings Norse mythology to the modern world...The background and explanation of the legends are clear and a natural fit to the story and dialogue, bringing life to lesser-known Norse mythology...Recommended for those who enjoyed Rick Riordan's 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' series."
―*School Library Journal*
"This smart, fast-paced, action-packed novel...offers readers a solid adventure story that still manages not to skimp on character...An excellent what-to-read-next for Percy Jackson fans, this novel will also please young readers of Marvel's Thor and myth-lovers already familiar with Norse lore..."

Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Fierce adventure, lightening pace, furious action, and original, engaging characters. I was hooked from the first hammer swing."

Eoin Colfer, New York Times bestselling author of Artemis Fowl
"Loki's Wolves has everything--a fast-paced, exciting plot, endearing and honest characters, Norse mythology with a contemporary twist, and plenty of heart. I can't wait to find out what happens to Matt, Laurie, and Fen!"

Ally Condie, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Matched
"These authors are no strangers to weaving a compelling tale. Once the story moves past the background, the plot picks up quickly and the adventure doesn't disappoint."

About the Author
K.L. Armstrong and M.A. Marr had been friends for several years and found themselves spending hours talking about mythology and monsters. With that shared interest, in addition to K.L.'s love for tackling creatures in video games when not writing (and sometimes when she's supposed to be writing), their monster and myth fixation, and the books they read with their 11- to 13-year-old sons, they knew they had to write the Blackwell Pages.
