The Sleeping Army

by Francesca Simon

Freya is an ordinary girl in modern Britain—except the Viking gods are real and still worshipped.

One night at the British Museum, she blows Heimdall’s Horn and awakens three enchanted chess pieces. Summoned to Asgard, Freya learns she must go on a dangerous quest to restore the gods’ youth.

Refuse, and she’ll be turned into an ivory chess piece. Accept and fail… the same fate awaits.
