Overview
Step into the icy, action-packed world of Norse mythology with this Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard 2-book hardback collection by bestselling author Rick Riordan. Following homeless teenager Magnus Chase as he discovers he is the son of a Norse god, this set bundles The Sword of Summer and The Hammer of Thor into one giftable edition, perfect for young readers already hooked on Percy Jackson or hungry for their next mythological adventure.

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.
