![]() ![]() Percy Jackson was born from bedtime stories to Riordan’s son who loved Greek mythology. American author Rick Riordan is a fan favourite for his action-packed mythological stories, which started with the bestselling Percy Jackson series based on the Greek myths. The Magnus Chase books bring Norse mythology to the modern day with their unique cynicism, wit and flair. Magnus has to deal with elves, dwarves, angry sea gods and wolves with glowing eyes, not to mention his own demons as he battles with the memories of his mother’s death and his growing feelings for his friend Alex. The trilogy follows the friends as they fight Norse fire giants, retrieve Thor’s hammer, deal with troublesome gods and fight some epic battles along the way. ![]() ![]() ![]() Magnus and his friends’ adventures in the fantastical world of Valhalla have had millions of readers hooked since they were first published in 2015. And to top it off, it looks like he is going to have to die in order to save the world. More mind-boggling even than that: it is up to Magnus to find the weapon his father lost two millennia ago, otherwise there will be doom. The last thing he is expecting on his sixteenth birthday is to be told that his dad is a Norse god and that the gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Things are tough for Magnus Chase – he is homeless, an orphan and trying to stay one step ahead of the police and truant officers stalking him in Boston. ![]()
