Description
The Sword of Summer
Magnus Chase has seen his share of trouble. Ever since that
terrible night two years ago when his mother told him to run; he has lived alone
on the streets of Boston; surviving by his wits; staying one step ahead of the
police and truant officers. One day; he is tracked down by an uncle he barely
knows-a man his mother claimed was dangerous. Uncle Randolph 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 Ragnarok; 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.
The Hammer of Thor
Thors hammer is missing again. The thunder god has a disturbing habit of
misplacing his weapon--the mightiest force in the Nine Worlds. But this time the
hammer is not just lost; it has fallen into enemy hands. If Magnus Chase and his
friends can not retrieve the hammer quickly; the mortal worlds will be
defenceless against an onslaught of giants. Ragnarok will begin. The Nine Worlds
will burn. Unfortunately; the only person who can broker a deal for the hammers
return is the gods worst enemy; Loki--and the price he wants is very high.
