Magnus Chase has had enough hardship. He has lived alone on the streets of Boston since that awful night two years ago when his mother advised him to go, using his cunning to remain one step ahead of the law enforcement and truant officials.
One day, Magnus finds out that his uncle Randolph—a guy his mother had constantly forewarned him about—is the one making further attempts to find him. Magnus stumbles into his uncle's trap whilst attempting to outwit him. Randolph gets off topic and begins talking about Norse history and Magnus's birthright—a sword that has been missing for ages.
The more Randolph speaks, the more parts of the jigsaw fit together. Magnus's memory bursts with tales of wolves, Doomsday, and the gods of Asgard. He must decide between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocent people before a fire giant strikes the city, leaving him with little time to think things through. It's...
There are times when dying is the only way to begin again.
