Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard by Rick Riordan ~ Exclusive first look & Giveaway

The Sword of Summer
Available October 6, 2015





Description:

Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother’s mysterious death, he’s lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers. One day, he’s tracked down by an uncle he’s never met—a man his mother claimed was dangerous. His uncle tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god. The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants, and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarök, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years. When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision. Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . .

  19. I have been a faithful reader of Rick's since the beginning! The Percy Jackson books are my go-to recommendation for children and teenagers for gifts at the bookshop I work at. I would love to see what he does with a new mythology source and I am excited to learn more about Norse mythology as well.
