Long ago, Thor saved the people of Miskander from a rebellious horde. As a thank you for his selfless heroism, he was gifted a crown which he safely stored on Asgard.

Until Loki stole it. The Trickster God has been partying hard as a rock band guitarist and thought it would be fun to bequeath the crown to the lead singer, Nihilator, unaware of its true significance-and the corruptive, destructive influence of its true power.

Joining forces with the Korean tiger-goddess Horangi, a band of space pirates-and Loki-Thor must not only recover the crown from Nihilator to stop an apocalypse, but also redeem himself for the role he played during the so-called revolution on Miksander . . .

Thor: Metal Gods is a collaborative novel by Aaron Stewart-Ahn, Jay Edidin, Brian Keene, and Yoon Ha Lee.
