The Shadow of the Gods

A century after the gods annihilated themselves in a devastating war, their colossal bones litter the land of Vigrið, relics of immense power sought by the brave and desperate alike. As whispers of impending war ripple through this Norse-inspired world, the fates of three distinct individuals become irrevocably intertwined, destined to shape the future. There is Orka, a formidable huntress embarking on a perilous quest driven by a dark secret; Elva, a young noblewoman determined to forge her own legend and earn battle fame; and Varg, a thrall seeking brutal vengeance alongside the infamous mercenaries known as the Bloodsworn. John Gwynne masterfully crafts a world rich in myth, magic, and visceral action, where these characters' journeys will converge amidst bloody conflicts, ancient prophecies, and the looming 'shadow of the gods.' This epic saga opener promises a brutal yet compelling adventure, setting the stage for a new era of sagas written in blood.
