Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer

Descriere

The first book in the incredible new series from the author of Percy Jackson, the Kane Chronicles and Heroes of Olympus. <b>My name is Magnus Chase. I'm orphaned and living rough on the streets of Boston. And things are about to get <i>much</i> worse.</b> 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. 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. A fire giant attacking the city? Immortal warriors hacking each other to pieces? Unkillable wolves with glowing eyes? It's all coming up. <b>But first I'm going to die. This is the story of how my life goes downhill from there...</b>
