Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer (Book 1)

The first book in the incredible new series from the author of Percy Jackson, the Kane Chronicles and Heroes of Olympus.<br>
<br>
My name is Magnus Chase. I’m orphaned and living rough on the streets of Boston. And things are about to get much worse.<br>
<br>
My day started out normally enough. I was sleeping under a bridge when some guy kicked me awake and said, ‘They’re after you.’ Next thing I know, I’m reunited with my obnoxious uncle, who casually informs me that my long-lost father is a Norse god.<br>
<br>
Nothing normal about that. And it turns out the gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Apparently, if I can’t find the sword my father lost two thousand years ago, there will be doom. Doomsday, to be precise.<br>
<br>
A fire giant attacking the city?<br>
Immortal warriors hacking each other to pieces?<br>
Unkillable wolves with glowing eyes?<br>
It’s all coming up.<br>
But first I’m going to die. This is the story of how my life goes downhill from there…
