Description
Book SynopsisThe Hunger of the Gods continues John Gwynne''s acclaimed Norse-inspired epic fantasy series, packed with myth, magic and bloody vengeance
Lik-Rifa, the dragon god of legend, has been freed from her eternal prison. Now she plots a new age of blood and conquest.
As Orka continues the hunt for her missing son, the Bloodsworn sweep south in a desperate race to save one of their own - and Varg takes the first steps on the path of vengeance.
Elvar has sworn to fulfil her blood oath and rescue a prisoner from the clutches of Lik-Rifa and her dragonborn followers, but first she must persuade the Battle-Grim to follow her.
Yet even the might of the Bloodsworn and Battle-Grim cannot stand alone against a dragon god.
Their hope lies within the mad writings of a chained god. A book of forbidden magic with the power to raise the wolf god Ulfrir from the dead . . . and bring about a battle that will shake the foundations of the earth.

Trade ReviewAn exciting, rich, vibrant story, full of heart-pounding action and colourful characters * FanFiAddict *
The Bloodsworn has impressed the hell out of me through two volumes. Like the first instalment,
The Hunger of the Gods ended bombastically with a great emotional punch that has me slavering for the finale. Highly recommended * SFFWorld *
Tightly paced and with invigorating action throughout,
The Hunger of the Gods is the epic payoff to the foundation Gwynne meticulously laid down in
The Shadow of the Gods and a thrilling setup for the series conclusion * Polygon *
A stellar entry in a series that is worthy of the saga-song title * Fantasy Book Critic *
The Shadow of the Gods was a great book;
The Hunger of the Gods surpasses it . . . I loved every word * The Eloquent Page *
