A masterfully crafted, brutally compelling Norse-inspired epic unfolds in a world where a century has passed since the gods' extinction, leaving only their bones behind, which promise great power to the brave. As whispers of war resonate across Vigrið, three warriors embark on intertwined paths: a huntress on a perilous quest, a noblewoman seeking battle fame, and a thrall bent on vengeance among the mercenaries known as the Bloodsworn. Their actions will shape the fate of a world once again overshadowed by divine remnants. This new saga is rich with myth, magic, and bloody vengeance, marking the beginning of an epic fantasy journey from bestselling author John Gwynne. Praise for this work highlights its visceral storytelling, heart-wrenching moments, and unputdownable nature. Readers will find a satisfying narrative filled with well-realized characters set against a backdrop of immense world-building. It is described as a masterclass in storytelling, combining gritty fantasy with deep emotional resonance, and is recognized as quintessential Gwynne—an exhilarating opener to a Viking-flavored fantasy series that promises action-packed, cinematic experiences.
