În acest scurt, dar inventiv roman inspirat de mitologia nordică, Neil Gaiman își conduce cititorii într-o călatorie magică și sălbatică pe pământurile uriașilor și pe tarâmurile zeilor.
Într-un sat din vechea Norvegie locuiește un băiat pe nume Odd și e urmărit de un ghinion teribil: tatăl său s-a stins într-o expediție vikingă; un copac a căzut sfărâmându-i un picior și lasându-l pradă iernii nesfârșite care îi face pe locuitorii satului periculos de morocănoși.
Departe în pădure, Odd întâlnește un urs, o vulpe și un vultur - trei animale cu ciudate povești de spus.
Acum Odd este obligat să plece într-o misterioasă călătorie - o călătorie de salvare a Asgard-ului, orașul zeilor de către Uriașii Înghețați care l-au invadat.
E nevoie de un soi special de băiat de doisprezece ani pentru a readuce pacea în orașul zeilor și pentru a sfârși crunta iarnă.
Cineva plin de viață, inteligent și furios. Cineva ca Odd.

Descriere scurtă
In a village in ancient Norway lives a boy named Odd, and he's had some very bad luck: His father perished in a Viking expedition; a tree fell on and shattered his leg; the endless freezing winter is making villagers dangerously grumpy.
Out in the forest Odd encounters a bear, a fox, and an eagle—three creatures with a strange story to tell.
Now Odd is forced on a stranger journey than he had imagined—a journey to save Asgard, city of the gods, from the Frost Giants who have invaded it.
It's going to take a very special kind of twelve-year-old boy to outwit the Frost Giants, restore peace to the city of gods, and end the long winter.
Someone cheerful and infuriating and clever . . .
Someone just like Odd .
