About the Book
"So, at some point, the age of gods came to an end."Or so it was believed for eons... until
Thrym the Hollow, Jotunheim's deposed King of the Frost Giants, rose
from death.
This time, he would not rest until his foes were
eviscerated, and his fearful tyranny reigned across the human realm of
Midgard. "Earth."
To combat the encroaching evil, the fates
reveal a massive skeleton and iron hammer in an uncommon lightning storm on the frozen shores of Sweden. Sent to investigate are the Bureau for
Paranormal Research and Defense's top operatives - the amphibian
humanoid Abraham Sapien and the equally anomalous crimson demon called
Hellboy.
Only Hellboy can lift the seemingly immovable object
from the lifeless figure's clutches. But when a lightning strike fuses
the iron weapon to his stone right hand, the occult investigator becomes joined with the mightiest weapon in all of Norse mythology. Once
wielded by the legendary thunder-bearer instrumental in Thrym's
downfall, the hammer subjects Hellboy to an ancient life he has never
lived, and visions no other can see. Yet even that knowledge, coupled
with the aid of a talking squirrel, a beautiful folklorist and dwarfish
Nidavellim warriors, may not thwart the Frost King. Regardless of
whether Hellboy triumphs over Thrym and the other leviathans rising to
wage war, he may still be forever lost to an essence not his own... lost
among The Bones of Giants.
