Gods’ bones and three paths to war

In Vigrid, a century after the gods destroyed one another, their bones remain as a source of power—and a reason to venture into danger. The gathering threat of war connects three separate pursuits: a huntress’s quest, a noblewoman’s search for battle fame, and a thrall’s bid for vengeance among the Bloodsworn mercenaries. Their stories place mythic remains, martial ambition, and personal retribution within the same Norse-inspired epic-fantasy world.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking epic fantasy with Norse-inspired mythology and magic.
  • Readers who enjoy stories connecting multiple warriors’ quests and ambitions.
  • Readers interested in vengeance, battle, and conflict over the power of divine remains.

Book overview

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

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.

"A masterfully crafted, brutally compelling Norse-inspired epic." --Anthony Ryan The Greatest Sagas Are Written in Blood
