About the Books In The Sword of Summer , sixteen-year-old Magnus Chase has been living rough on the streets of Boston since his mother's death. Tracked down by his uncle Randolph, he's warned of grave danger from the fire giant Surt. Before he can make sense of it, Magnus is ambushed and dies fighting — only to wake up alive in Valhalla. He is, it turns out, the son of a Norse god, newly thrust into a strange world of Vikings and vengeful deities. In The Hammer of Thor , Magnus's cousin Annabeth Chase (of Percy Jackson fame) turns up in Valhalla searching for him, and together they must race across the Nine Worlds to recover Thor's stolen hammer before Ragnarok is triggered. Riordan blends humour, heart and richly researched Norse mythology throughout, introducing an unforgettable, diverse cast alongside nods to his wider Camp Half-Blood universe. Fast-paced, funny and packed with mythological detail, these two books work brilliantly as a stand-alone introduction to the series or as a gift set for fans wanting sturdy hardback copies for their shelves. Complete 2-book hardback set — no need to buy separately Introduces Norse mythology in an accessible, funny, action-packed way From the bestselling author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians Diverse, memorable cast
