Waiting on Wednesday: The Sword of Summer

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine

Synopsis: Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother’s mysterious death, he’s lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers.

One day, he’s tracked down by a man he’s never met—a man his mother claimed was dangerous. The man tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god.

The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years.

When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision.

Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . .

A new series by Rick Riordan? Sign me up! I loved both the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and The Kane Chronicles. I'm determined not to get behind in this series like I did The Hero's of Olympus series.  Not to mention this one has the Gods of Asgard which mean Loki and Thor!  Hopefully Loki won't be an evil dude in this one. Anyway The Sword of Summer comes out on October 6th and its published by Disney Hyperion
