Hollywood screenwriters James Jennewein and Tom S. Parker bring Norse mythology to life with an adventure-filled saga told in kid-friendly language. A Viking boy named Dane must choose a nickname for himself to keep up tradition. Will he become Dane the Dangerous or Dane the Despicable? When an evil warlord named Thidrek kidnaps Dane's sweetheart, he earns his nickname through great feats of derring-do-Dane the Defiant!

Having just defeated Thidrek the Terrifying, Dane and his friends have little time to revel in their victory. Dane's mother has been kidnapped by Godrek Whitecloak, whose schemes don't end there. Soon, Dane and his friends are off on a quest that will pit them against raging sea monsters, brutish frost giants, and more.

In Ship of the Dead, Dane the Defiant questions his heroic actions after the return of Thor's Hammer brought drought to his village, his mother was kidnapped, and his beloved Astrid was lost. Yet Dane must find the courage to continue if he's to fulfill his destiny.
