English Summary/英文概要： One of the bestselling children’s authors in the world, the creator of the "Horrid Henry series", launches an exciting new novel for children aged 8+. Freya is an ordinary girl living in modern Britain, but with a twist: people still worship the Viking gods. She’s caught in her parents’ divorce, and shuttling between bickering adults is no fun. One evening, stuck with her dad on his night shift at the British Museum, she is drawn to the Lewis Chessmen and Heimdall’s Horn. Unable to resist, she blows the horn, waking three chess pieces from their enchantment; the slaves Roskva and Alfi, and Snot the Berserk. They are all summoned to Asgard, land of the Viking gods, and told they must go on a perilous journey to restore the gods to youth. If Freya refuses she will be turned into an ivory chess piece but, if she accepts her destiny and fails, the same terrible fate awaits her.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 世界上最畅销的儿童作家之一，“调皮亨利系列“的创造者，为8岁儿童推出了一部令人兴奋地新作品。Freya是居住在现代英国的一个普通女孩，但扭曲的一点是：人们仍然崇拜维京神灵。她陷在父母的离婚事件中，夹在争吵的父母之间并不好玩。一天晚上，她被迫和在大英博物馆值夜班的爸爸呆在一起，她被象棋和号角吸引住了。因无法抗拒，她吹响号角，吵醒了三个棋子。他被们都召集到阿斯加德，维京众神的土地，并告诉他们必须开始一个危险的旅程去恢复众神。如果Freya拒绝，她将会变成象棋，如果她接受她的命运却失败了，同样可怕的命运等着她。(兼职翻译-CDD)
