Power of Friendship
The Sword of Summer
Magnus Chase
Magnus has been homeless for the last two years of his life after a freak fire in his apartment killing his mom. Magnus has been fending for his life with the help of his not-so-human friends Blitzen and Hearthstone.
Hearthstone
Hearthstone is a deaf elf that has been treated as an outcast by his family since birth. Hearthstone uses the pain and heartache to fuel his magic. Hearthstone's symbol is Perthro meaning the empty cup.
Blitzen
Blitzen's family name is a sour one to be said in the dwarf world ,but his lack of mechanical expertise and surplus of fashion tips don't help his cause. Blitzen's individuality pushes him to strive for his dreams regardless of the conformity of the dwarf community.
The Dog Who Could Fly
The year is 1939, with WWII raging through Europe, Czech Airman Robert Bozdech crash lands inside German lines. The outcast finds a dog he calls Ant that was also forgotten after Nazi's invaded the owner's home. The two becoming best of friends through out the war, always flying together. Even when Ant wasn't able to fly because of an injury, he waited on the tarmac for Robert to return. The duo's inseparable friendship is a heart warming story considering the path of loneliness the two needed to take to find each other.
