The Shadow of the Gods

De: John Gwynne

Narrado por: Colin Mace

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

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 Vigrid, 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.

"A masterfully crafted, brutally compelling Norse-inspired epic." —Anthony Ryan The Greatest Sagas Are Written in Blood

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Gwynne, a Viking reenactor, puts in the work, with fine historical details that make the story come to life. Fans of the era will be delighted with the accuracy. This is a duly exciting start to the series."—Publishers Weekly on The Shadow of the Gods

"A Time of Dread reminds me of why I became a fantasy enthusiast in the first place. Fantasy can be an escape from reality, but some stories carry the reader to an enhanced reality, a place where the world seems to have brighter colors and sharper contrasts."—Robin Hobb on A Time of Dread

"Great evils, conflicted heroes, bloody battles, betrayal, and giants riding battle bears! What's not to love?"—Peter Newman on A Time of Dread

"A series that promises the same degree of complexity and depth found in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time books and George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series."—Library Journal (starred review) on Malice

"Influenced by Gemmell's Rigante and George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones ... Hell of a debut."—Conn Iggulden on Malice

Pretty good.

it started a little slow but got good quick. the story as a whoke was good but it really shined during the battles(theres alot by the way).

G.O.T meet vikings meets Brandon Sanderson

so you like Game of thrones? need something to tie you over waiting on Book 5 of Stormlight or last book of GOT? like magic, "vikings" and dragons?

this book Gotchu...

more blood and guts like game of thrones...but more magic like Sanderson books( although not explained yet)...but very much more violent.

great narrator with a amazing range of voices...and good "gravel" deepness to it..( RC Bray like)

AMAZING!!!

This is by FAR in my top 5 books EVER!!! I cannot wait till the next one comes out!! I’m dying!!!

Wow simply wow

This is the ONLY audiobook I have listened to, then immediately started it over. I can’t wait for the series to continue. I have listened to it three times now… just WOW!

Audio performance matching a great book.

The story is fantastic and each chapter is action packed.
Very delighted and glad that the audio performance is equally fantastic.
The narrator's performance is top notched and immersive. Well casted.

Absolutely Breathtaking

This is my first book by John Gwynne and I'm absolutely hooked. The whole world is incredible and the influence of Norse Mythology is clearly evident while still maintaining originality. It's especially cool that this takes place only 300 years after the fall of the gods. The mythos is an absolute fact to the characters and not just a fairy tale. Such a cool concept and I can wait for book 2

stick with it

it starts off a bit slow, but really gets going and enjoyable but the end.

Loved it

Really enjoyed the world build. Loved the characters and the prose. Can’t wait for book 2

Amazing

Love this book and the characters! The Norse tie in is amazing and the voicing and pacing are perky!

Great story, bad narration

It took me a few tries to get passed the monotone narration and get into this book, but once I did I thoroughly enjoyed it!
