      About This Book

      "A masterfully crafted, brutally compelling Norse-inspired epic." —Anthony Ryan

      THE GREATEST SAGAS ARE WRITTEN IN BLOOD.

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