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.

Amazing story, terrible narrator.

The content was excellent, one of the most engaging fantasies I have heard this year, but the narrator is awful, his monotonous delivery had my mind drifting often, please please hire someone else to do the third book.

loved it

other people may have different opinions, but I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I like following many characters and watching their paths come together. I'm excited for the 3rd book in 2024.

Just as good as the first.

I love this trilogy so far, I’m only sad that I have to wait for the next book. John Gwynne is fantastic and I can’t wait for the finale

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the narrator was the best I’ve heard, would probably listen to anything he narrated.
