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's 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 . . .

This Book clearly shows that Rick Riordan's craft in story telling. With new myths, new characters, and new themes that are being introduced in his writing. There getting funnier, more enlightening, and I can't wait to read more of his work. And to see more of Magnus, Samiriah, Blitzen, Hearthstone, and Jack.
I love this book! Rick Riordan has once again dominated the world of publishing with this brand new twisting, mysterious super funny (as usual) and thrilling pearl of a book. I would not be surprised if this book won the vote for the Buckeye Book Award.
This one of the best books ever. Rick Riordan has done it again. It is pure magic.
I LOVE it! You should totally read it! I like that it connects to his other books
