I've been doing voice overs for years, but this is my first audiobook! I couldn't be happier with the opportunity to be the voice of Magnus Chase in Rick Riordan's new series, Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. Rick is the author of the highly successful Percy Jackson series, and his books have been translated into 37 languages and sold more than 30 million copies!
Here is the synopsis of book one, The Sword of Summer:
"Magnus Chase has seen his share of trouble. Ever since that terrible night two years ago when his mother told him to run, he has lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, staying one step ahead of the police and truant officers.
One day, Magnus learns that someone else is trying to track him down—his uncle Randolph, a man his mother had always warned him about. When Magnus tries to outmaneuver his uncle, he falls right into his clutches. Randolph starts rambling about Norse history and Magnus’s birthright: a weapon that has been lost for thousands years.
The more Randolph talks, the more puzzle pieces fall into place. Stories about the gods of Asgard, wolves, and Doomsday bubble up from Magnus’s memory. But he doesn’t have time to consider it all before a fire giant attacks the city, forcing him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents. . . .
Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die."
Rick's books are so popular they even made a trailer for this one: Magnus Chase trailer Wha?!? (That's obviously not me narrating the trailer...)
The hard cover book and audiobook will be released on Tuesday 06 October 2015! Check out a sample here: Penguin Random House
