Publisher's summary

Set in a Norse-inspired world and packed with myth, magic, and vengeance, this epic saga follows a band of warriors as they face the wrath of ancient gods and change the shape of the world.

Lik-Rifa, the dragon god of legend, has been freed from her eternal prison. Now she plots a new age of blood and conquest.

As Orka continues the hunt for her missing son, the Bloodsworn sweep south in a desperate race to save one of their own - and Varg takes the first steps on the path of vengeance.

Elvar has sworn to fulfil her blood oath and rescue a prisoner from the clutches of Lik-Rifa and her dragonborn followers, but first she must persuade the Battle-Grim to follow her.

Yet even the might of the Bloodsworn and Battle-Grim cannot stand alone against a dragon god.

Their hope lies within the mad writings of a chained god. A book of forbidden magic with the power to raise the wolf god Ulfrir from the dead...and bring about a battle that will shake the foundations of the Earth.

Thrilling and Entrancing start to finish

This was one of the most entertaining and exciting books I have ever read or listened to. The story is magnificent and enthralling and the presentation captured my interest and attention entirely. I cannot wait for book 3

The Best Book of the Year!

This is the best book I’ve read so far this year. Even better than Shadow of the Gods. Can’t wait for the next book.

Fantastic Story

This book was just as good as the first, if not better. The characters were great, and the story had a good pace. I was sad to finish the book because I wanted more.

Occasionally sluggish middle but finished strong

Several chapters dragged, but the ending was great, albeit upsetting. Performance was strong throughout. Very much looking forward to the final installment
