From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author John Gwynne comes an epic fantasy saga set in a Norse-inspired world. Packed with myth, magic, and vengeance, The Shadow of the Gods is a masterclass in epic fantasy and a must read for any fantasy fan. "A masterfully crafted, brutally compelling Norse-inspired epic." --Anthony Ryan, author of The Pariah

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.

The story continues in book two, The Hunger of the Gods, available now!
