Og selvom han helst ville gemme sig i fredelige egne, venter der én sidste kamp – og den kan han absolut ikke tåle at tabe.Palnatoke er som altid i et forrygende fortællehumør i Ragnarok – det niende og sidste bind om Danmarks fødsel og den dramatiske afslutning på bestseller-sagaen 1000-Årsriget.

Bind 9 i 1000-Årsriget-sagaen. Ulv Palnatoke er blevet gammel nok til at vide bedre – men det stopper ham ikke. Da kejser Otto II erobrer Hedeby, kræver Harald Blåtand endnu en gang hans hjælp. Palnatoke har egentlig fået nok af konger med guldkors og store armbevægelser, men skæbnen (og en stædig konge) har andre planer. En begravelse, en vanvittig skitur og et par uheldige beslutninger sender Palnatoke ud på en rejse, der roder op i fortiden og rækker mod noget større. Og selvom han helst ville gemme sig i fredelige egne, venter én sidste kamp – og den kan han absolut ikke tåle at tabe. Palnatoke er som altid i et forrygende fortællehumør i Ragnarok – det niende og sidste bind om Danmarks fødsel og den dramatiske afslutning på bestseller-sagaen 1000-Årsriget. Bogen er en fascinerende, humoristisk og barsk fortælling om en tid, hvor danerne konstant lå i krig med hinanden og med resten af verden – i jagten på rigdom, skjaldenes lovsang og evig ære. En skønlitterær saga baseret på virkelige begivenheder.
