The Shadow of the Gods
By John GwynnePublisher Description
"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.

“Holy CRAP! For the first 100 pages or so, I wasn’t sure if I would bring myself to finishing this, as a lot of the book is really just setting the scene for what’s to come. The exposition proved worthwhile in the final parts of the book, where the things revealed have me so excited to read on through the rest of the trilogy. Fell in love with all three POVs, and so excited to see what happens next!”

“Somehow John Gwynne had me gripped from the start even though nothing really happens for most of this book (it’s like 85% setting up events for the next book). I got so invested in these characters from really early on, especially Orka. The battle scenes are fantastic, and I’m really curious to see more of the magic in this world. Deducting half a star because at times it was a lot of info dump and new terms to learn all at once.”Cassandra 🍄🧚🏻✨🗡️
