Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer (Book 1)

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The first book in the incredible new series from the author of Percy Jackson, Kane Chronicles and Heroes of Olympus.

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.

One day, he's tracked down by an uncle he's never met - who 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.

First time using book hero last week and though I was sceptical , the two business books I needed were only available on book hero so I gave it a try. Before I got home the following day the books were already at my home !! That's super efficient ! I'm proud to be supporting a local business that outperforms the big players ! Well done bookhero !
