The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #1)

Magnus is the son of a Norse god. 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.
