The Shadow of the Gods

'A masterfully crafted, brutally compelling Norse-inspired epic' Anthony Ryan

THE GREATEST SAGAS ARE WRITTEN IN BLOOD.

A century has passed since the gods fought and drove themselves to extinction.
Now only their bones remain, promising great power to those brave enough to
seek them out.

As whispers of war echo across the land of Vigrið, fate follows in the
footsteps of three warriors: a huntress on a dangerous quest, a noblewoman
pursuing battle fame, and a thrall seeking vengeance among the mercenaries
known as the Bloodsworn.

All three will shape the fate of the world as it once more falls under the
shadow of the gods.

Set in a brand-new, Norse-inspired world, and packed with myth, magic and
bloody vengeance, The Shadow of the Gods begins an epic new fantasy saga from
bestselling author John Gwynne.
