'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 bloody
vengeance, The Shadow of the Gods begins an epic new fantasy saga
from bestselling author John Gwynne. Further praise for The Shadow
of the Gods 'Visceral, heart-breaking and unputdownable' Jay
Kristoff 'A satisfying and riveting read. The well-realised
characters move against a backdrop of a world stunning in its
immensity. It's everything I've come to expect from a John Gwynne
book' Robin Hobb 'A masterclass in storytelling . . . epic, gritty
fantasy with an uncompromising amount of heart' FanFiAddict
'Quintessential Gwynne honed to perfection . . . The Shadow of the
Gods is absolutely stunning, one hell of an epic series opener and
a spectacular dose of Viking-flavoured fantasy' The Tattooed Book
Geek 'Reminds me of all that I love in the fantasy genre. The
Shadow of the Gods is an action-packed cinematic read' Fantasy Hive
