Blurb
The first book in the incredible new series from the author of Percy Jackson, the Kane Chronicles and Heroes of Olympus. My name is Magnus Chase. I'm orphaned and living rough on the streets of Boston. And things are about to get much worse. My day started out normally enough. I was sleeping under a bridge when some guy kicked me awake and said, 'They're after you.' Next thing I know, I'm reunited with my obnoxious uncle, who casually informs me that my long-lost father is a Norse god. Nothing normal about that. And it turns out the gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Apparently, if I can't find the sword my father lost two thousand years ago, there will be doom. Doomsday, to be precise. A fire giant attacking the city? Immortal warriors hacking each other to pieces? Unkillable wolves with glowing eyes? It's all coming up. But first I'm going to die. This is the story of how my life goes downhill from there...

The Chalice of the Gods
Same author's snarky demigod voice and quest-driven found family, but lighter and lower-stakes than a Ragnarok countdown.
The Tyrant's Tomb
Same snarky god-touched narrator and camp found-family stakes, but this one leans harder into grief and battlefield loss than Magnus's lighter Norse romp.
Carry On
Another reluctant chosen one drowning in prophecy and monsters, but at a magic school with a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance front and center.
The Siren
Keeps the mythic-creature premise and immortal found family, but centers a sweet forbidden romance instead of monster-fighting comedy.
Once Upon a Broken Heart
Another mortal pulled into deals with immortals and prophecy, but romance-forward with a morally grey love interest and older tone.
Any Way the Wind Blows
Keeps the chosen-one-with-found-family feel while trading world-saving quests for aftermath, identity questions, and romance.
