How to Read The Blackwell Pages series
Must Read in Order
· Start with Book 1
Read in order—each book builds directly on the previous one.
The main narrative should be read in publication order from Loki's Wolves through Thor's Serpents. The same quest continues across the trilogy as the group recruits champions, searches for mythological weapons, suffers losses, and prepares for the final confrontation; individual missions may end, but their consequences carry directly into the next book. Starting later would spoil discoveries about the champions’ identities and leave their alliances, powers, earlier choices, and progress toward Ragnarök unclear. The supplied list contains no separate companion stories.
About The Blackwell Pages series
Series Premise
Thirteen-year-old Matt learns that he has been chosen to represent Thor when the descendants of the Norse gods must take their ancestors’ places at Ragnarök. Joined by Fen and Laurie, he sets out to assemble the other young champions, recover Thor’s hammer and shield, and confront the monsters preparing to end the world.
Main Characters
Matt Thorsen is a thirteen-year-old descendant of Thor who is selected as the god’s champion and forced into a leadership role. Fen Brekke and Laurie Brekke come from Blackwell’s Loki-descended community and accompany Matt on the quest, although each has a different relationship with family expectations, loyalty, and the role assigned by prophecy. The team expands as they locate other young descendants needed for the coming battle.
Setting
The story begins in contemporary Blackwell, South Dakota, where ancestry connected to Thor and Loki is treated as part of local family history. The quest soon carries the champions beyond town into dangerous landscapes and mythological realms, including the Underworld, where old Norse prophecies and supernatural creatures operate within the modern world.
Tone & Themes
The trilogy combines fast-moving adventure, monsters, combat, and humor with conflicts about identity, friendship, and inherited responsibility. Matt, Laurie, and Fen are repeatedly told that ancestry determines what they must become, while their choices test whether courage and loyalty matter more than the roles assigned to them by family and prophecy.
What Sets This Series Apart?
Norse mythology is presented as living family history rather than a distant collection of legends. The gods are no longer available to fight Ragnarök themselves, so their young descendants must assume specific mythological roles, recover legendary objects, and decide how closely they will follow a prophecy written for their ancestors.
What Readers Should Know
The books are aimed primarily at middle-grade readers and contain monster attacks, combat, poisoning, death, grief, betrayal, and sustained danger involving young characters. The violence is adventure-oriented rather than graphically described, but the story grows darker as the champions approach the final battle.
The trilogy offers a compact mythological adventure centered on young characters learning to work together under the pressure of an approaching apocalypse. It is most likely to suit readers who enjoy modernized mythology, ensemble quests, dangerous creatures, and heroes confronting expectations inherited from their families.
