Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer

by Rick Riordan

My name’s Magnus Chase. I’m an orphan living on the streets of Boston—and things are about to get a whole lot worse.

One morning, I’m told someone’s after me. By nightfall, I’ve met my long-lost uncle, discovered my dad is a Norse god, and learned that if I don’t find a missing sword, the world is headed for Doomsday.

No pressure. (Book 1)
