About this listen

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.

The most underrated writer

Gwynne has become my favorite author. His first books were great, but he just gets better and better. There is nothing lacking in any of these books and these last two are amazing

Epic experience, not for all

To start, all books in a series should start as this one does with 10 minutes of prolog rather than trying to integrate the last book or the last 2 books into the 1st 100 pages of the book. The narrator's command of the language and the names is just incredible. This book is really a rollercoaster since it's actually 5 novellas in one book all intertwined. It's a little difficult at the beginning, mama but after the 1st 2 hours it's almost impossible to put down. Just really an enjoyable book can't wait for the next in the series.

Exciting Story with Meh narrator

Another exciting story ruined by Colin. I hate how he whispers when characters shout.

The is pure adrenaline

The last 3 hours of the book make it worth it alone. Our enjoyment and one of the best books I’ve ever listened to. The characters are all immaculate. The story told through different perspectives always gives you just enough before moving to the next. Especially with the pace the story moves.

Action packed is an understatement

This book is relentless with the action and the progression of each character arc. The second book vastly outperforms book 1 which is a statement in of itself. Highly recommend cliffhanger at the end has me chomping at the bit for the third book!

Outstanding

There was no way to guess the end except I knew characters would group together against the dragon. But who would be her allies was the question. The end of the book was a tear jerker although 😢 some characters were not going to make it the ones that do was emotional as well. I look forward to reading the final book. The narrator was outstanding the best I've heard.

Proper Vikingr saga

Everything is amazing. The inspiration from Norse mythology and the way it crafts it’s own world and history is incredible! The characters are well written and heartfelt.
