While Thor, the God of Thunder, is a prisoner of the King of Muspelheim, the King describes his terrible plans for Asgard, Thor's home. Thor realises then that he has to escape immediately - but how? And if he reaches Asgard, what will he find? Are other enemies also preparing to attack? Can Thor save his home, or will he have to accept Ragnarok - the end of Asgard?
