Description

"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 vengeance, The Shadow of the Gods begins an epic new fantasy saga from bestselling author John Gwynne.

    First book reading with Norse mythology and fantasy. I enjoy the world building and character development. Even for me who does not read often I was able to follow and understand the story, even had chapters that made me excited to read on to know what happens with some characters.

  • Okay Book

    This was an alright book. I haven’t read a lot of fantasy books like this but this book was slow. Most books I get to a point where I can’t put it down. I never got there with this book.

  • Fantastic

    Wow! Heard great things about this book but this blew my socks off. I’ll admit it starts somewhat slow but man does it finish in an amazing way. Highly highly recommend this book. Immediately diving into #2! Instant favorite for me.

    This book got me hooked from the first chapter. I don’t really know what else to say, but this is a great book 5 out of 5 stars at least. And now I just have to wait for the third book.

  • Excellent world

    I really enjoyed the setting of this world and it was a nice, fresh change of pace from typical fantasy settings. I appreciate the author providing a glossary as many of the Viking terms will have you googling them. I did struggle a bit with keeping some of the characters straight but it did end on an excellent cliffhanger

  • Awesome

    Great action, strong set of characters, unique and developed world, only downside is dialogue can sometimes seem unemotional and it robotic
