Autor Rick Riordanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 oct 2015 – vârsta de la 10 până la 14 ani
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,
keeping
one
step
ahead
of
the
police
and
the
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 . . .
