Norse-inspired epic fantasy series, packed with myth, magic and
bloody vengeance 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

foundations of the earth. Praise for The Bloodsworn series: 'A
masterfully crafted, brutally compelling Norse-inspired epic'
