The squabbling Norse gods and goddesses of Runemarks are back! And theres a feisty new heroine on the scene: Maggie, a girl the same age as Maddy but brought up a world apart - literally in Worlds End, the focus of the Order in which Maddy was raised. Now the Order is destroyed, and Chaos is filling the vacuum left behindand is breaching the everyday world., Six hundred miles apart, two girls both bear on their skin a runemark: a symbol of the Old Days when the known Worlds were ruled by the gods from their sky citadel, Asgard. Now Asgard lies in ruins, and the power of the gods has long since been destroyed. Or so everyone thinks. But nothing is lost forever, and the gods havent given up yet (nor stopped squabbling!), and they want the power of the runes borne by Maddy and Maggie - these new runes, which carry huge potential, their runelight shining out as a portent to the future. Soon both girls are swept into a maelstrom of cataclysmic events that are to draw them closer and closer
