Bloodsworn: The Hunger of the Gods

The Hunger of the Gods, the latest installment in John Gwynne's masterfully crafted, brutally compelling, Norse-inspired epic, is packed with myth, magic, and bloody vengeance. As the dead gods rise, Lik-Rifa, the dragon god of legend, has been freed from her eternal prison and now plots a new age of blood and conquest.

Orka continues her relentless hunt for her missing son, while the Bloodsworn sweep south in a desperate race to save one of their own. Varg takes the first steps on the path of vengeance. Elvar has sworn to fulfill 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.

Even the might of the Bloodsworn and the Battle-Grim cannot stand alone against a dragon god. Their only 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.

Praise for The Shadow of the Gods, the first book in the series, has been overwhelmingly positive. Vulture has hailed it as "the best of the year," while Robin Hobb has described it as "a satisfying and riveting read" and Anthony Ryan has called it "a masterfully crafted, brutally compelling Norse-inspired epic." FanFiAddict has praised it as "a masterclass in storytelling ... epic, gritty fantasy with an uncompromising amount of heart."

John Gwynne's The Bloodsworn Trilogy, which includes The Shadow of the Gods and The Hunger of the Gods, is the latest addition to his impressive body of work, which also includes the Of Blood and Bone series and the acclaimed Faithful and the Fallen series, comprising Malice, Valor, Ruin, and Wrath.

With its captivating characters, rich world-building, and relentless action, The Hunger of the Gods is poised to continue Gwynne's legacy as a master of epic, gritty fantasy. Readers eager to immerse themselves in a world of myth, magic, and bloody vengeance will find themselves enthralled by this latest installment in the Bloodsworn Trilogy.
