Overview
Journey through the Nine Worlds with this four-book Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard paperback set from Rick Riordan. Homeless teen Magnus Chase learns he is the son of a Norse god, dies, and wakes up in Hotel Valhalla among warriors destined for Ragnarok. Across The Sword of Summer, The Hammer of Thor, The Ship of the Dead, and the companion 9 From the Nine Worlds, Magnus and his misfit crew race to outwit Loki. Packed with humor and mythology, it's an ideal gift for readers who loved Percy Jackson.

About the Books
The Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series reimagines Norse mythology through the eyes of a wisecracking, once-homeless Boston teen who learns his father is Frey, god of summer. After a fatal encounter with a fire giant, Magnus wakes up in Hotel Valhalla, home to Odin's chosen warriors, and is quickly drafted into a race against Ragnarok. Alongside deaf elf Hearthstone, dwarf Blitzen, and Valkyrie Samirah al-Abbas, Magnus travels the Nine Worlds hunting artifacts, outsmarting giants, and needling the trickster god Loki at every turn. The Sword of Summer opens the series with a fast, funny quest to recover a legendary blade before it falls into the wrong hands. The Hammer of Thor raises the stakes as Thor's missing weapon drags Magnus into a scheme involving a giant's wedding and a very reluctant bride. The Ship of the Dead brings the trilogy to its Ragnarok-tinged climax as Loki commandeers a ship built from the nails of the dead to launch his invasion of the mortal world. 9 From the Nine Worlds rounds out the set with a collection of shorter tales spotlighting fan-favorite side characters exploring the Nine Worlds. Together, the four paperbacks deliver a complete, self-contained mythological adventure full of banter, bravery, and unlikely friendship, ideal for readers moving on from Riordan's Greek and Egyptian series or discovering his storytelling for the very first time.
