The Hunger of the Gods

De: John Gwynne

Narrado por: Colin Mace

The second novel of John Gwynne's New York Times bestselling Bloodsworn Saga, this story set in a Norse-inspired world is packed with myth, magic, and vengeance.​

"Visceral, heartbreaking, and unputdownable." —Jay Kristoff on The Shadow of the Gods

THE DEAD GODS ARE RISING.

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 fulfill 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 only 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.

One of the best books I’ve heard in a long time

This is one of the most incredible books I’ve had the pleasure to listen to. I cannot wait for the 3rd in the series to come out. Buy it now!

might be my 2022 favorite new series

any book at the very end makes you scream at the offer for ending it too soon Is doing a good job. I feel like if you're a Joe abercrobbery found then you are going to be a John Gwynne fan. Plus if you're an elder ring player then why are you not reading this book. But overall love part to I feel like it was gone listening to with like 3 days and this is a fat 20 plus hour audio. listen. But it's so good

The saga continues

Enjoyed this book it expands the world as well as the depth of the characters. Can't get too attached to them as they die off rather fast but the good ones seem to be doing alright.
