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...

我叫馬格納斯‧蔡斯。我是個孤兒，在波士頓街頭流浪。而事情即將變得更糟。我的一天開始得還算正常。我當時正在橋下睡覺，突然有人踢醒了我，說：「他們在追你。」 接下來，我和討厭的叔叔重逢了，他漫不經心地告訴我，我失散多年的父親是一位北歐神祇。這可一點也不正常。原來，阿斯嘉特的諸神正在準備開戰。看來，如果我找不到父親兩千年前遺失的寶劍，末日就要來臨了。準確地說，是世界末日。一個火焰巨人會攻城？不朽的戰士會互相砍殺？眼睛發光、殺不死的狼？這一切都要來了。但首先，我要死了。這是我人生從此走下坡的故事…
